Jeannie J. Greenwood, 72, of Wellfleet, Nebraska passed away March 17, 2024 at Good Samaritan Hospital, Kearney, Nebraska. She was born January 14, 1952 to Bert and Alice (Melvin) Roberson, in Lewellen, Nebraska.
Jeannie grew up in Lewellen and attended school there. She met Dennis Greenwood when she worked at Mr. K’s Country on East 4th Street in North Platte. Jeannie loved to go with Dennis where ever he was playing in the band and be there with him. Times that she couldn't go watch she didn't like it and made sure to let Dennis know she wasn't happy. They were married February 25, 1984 at St. James Catholic Church in Curtis, Nebraska. They just celebrated 40 years of marriage. Jeannie worked at several nursing homes, including Sunset Haven in Curtis for over 20 years. She was always remembered for her loving care of the patients and their families that she cared for. Her family was the center of her life, especially her grandchildren when she became “Nana” to Emma and Jackson. Some of Jeannie’s most memorable highlights from this past year; supporting Emma with her academics, watching Jackson score his first homerun in baseball and his first touchdown in football, and celebrating with Dennis as he walked their daughter Kerrin down the aisle to be united in marriage with Corey. She loved her family dearly and they will all miss her.
