Jeanette Higginson's Obituary
Jeanette Higginson, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on July 3, 2025, at the Marliere Care Center. She was 95.
Jeanette was known for her sweet spirit, caring nature, and her gift for listening with genuine compassion. Her warmth touched everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.
