Jeanette Joan Rebhuhn was born on August 28, 1935 to Gus and Katie (DeWall) Rebhuhn. She was baptized into the Christian Faith on September 22, 1935, and confirmed on April 10, 1949 at Zion Lutheran Church, Ayrshire, Iowa.  She graduated from Ruthven High School, Ruthven, Iowa, in 1953 as the Valedictorian.

She married Donald K. Mummert, the love of her life, on June 3, 1956 at Trinity Lutheran Church, Cherokee, Iowa. To this union five children were born. Caring for her family and helping Donnie on the farm after the children were grown were priorities in her life, second only to her personal relationship with her Savior. She enjoyed spending time with her husband, children and spouses, and grandchildren.  Her family especially enjoyed her intelligence, sense of humor, and good-natured ribbing.

Jeanette was active in her church and cherished her church family. She taught the Nursery Sunday School Class of three and four year olds for twenty-four years.  She loved her students and watching their faith in God grow.  She shared many heartwarming anecdotes from her interactions with her precious students.  She was also active in Ladies Aid and her Circle.

She was preceded in death by her husband of sixty years on April 6, 2017; her parents; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Burt and Leone Mummert; her siblings and spouses: Clarence Rebhuhn, Doreen and Royal Pitchers, Marie and Robert Janssen, Kenneth Rebhuhn, Marjorie and Kenneth Sundberg; niece, Jeanne Sundberg Stellish and nephews, Jimmy and Jeff Sundberg and Blair Newlon; as well as sister-in-law and brother-in-law Jeanne and Jim Heuer.

Jeanette is survived by her five children; Debra (Michael) Estes of Traer, Iowa; DeAnn (Scott) Parsons of Waterloo, Iowa; Tamara (David) Eisenschenk of Farmington, MN; Ronald (Jan) Mummert of Spencer, Iowa; Douglas (Tamie) Mummert of Cherokee, Iowa. Grandchildren: Stephen (Annie) Estes, Adrienne (fiancé John Thompson) Estes, Adam Parsons, Brite (Lisa) Woodruff, Ryan (Kait) Parsons, Christian Woodruff, Devarae (Shane Mourning) Bender, Skyler (Tori) Mummert, McKenna (fiancé Nolan Martin) Mummert. Great-grandchildren: Ehren and Avery Woodruff, Roman and Tyus Mourning, Benjamin and Haiden Mummert, sister-in-law, Lorna Rebhuhn, of Webster City, Iowa; also, many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.
