Jeanette Olbrich, age 91 of Holland, was received into the loving arms of Jesus, her friend, on July 20, 2021. Jeanette was born in Holland, Michigan on October 29, 1929. At six weeks old, her mother tragically passed away at the age of 26. Jeanette went to live with a local family in Zeeland, but at two years of age, her father took her and her siblings to live in Nordhorn, Germany.

Heinz, and General Electric, where she would retire in 1990. In her younger years, she enjoyed crocheting and knitting, and was more recently a fan of word search puzzles, keeping her mind sharp.
