In December of 2019, she started working at Unity Point St. Luke’s Hospital in Sioux City, IA. Jonette excelled at her work and loved working with people. Jonette had her daughter, Krysta in 1990 and the two journeyed through life together. Jonette loved to ride her motorcycle on the open road and listen to rock n roll. Jonette enjoyed spending time with her friends at the Cottonwood. Jonette was fiercely independent. Her motto was: Figure it out and if you can’t, figure it out again. She was a loving and loyal friend. She had a vivacious personality and a welcoming smile which could light up any room. You could hear her laugh for miles. Jonette would say her biggest accomplishment in life was being a dedicated Mother. Krysta will always be her sunshine. She also loved being a grandma to her fur-babies. Jonette brought love and light into this world. A quote she loved: The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched. They must be felt with the heart. – Helen Keller.
