Jeanette Ione Cline, 74, longtime resident of North Platte, went to be with her Lord on Tuesday, 29 May, 2018, at home surrounded by her family following a short courageous battle with cancer.
Jeanette was born the youngest of seven children to Everett Galen, Sr. and Fern Marguerite (Ulrich) Green on 14 July, 1943, at Kadoka, SD. She was raised on the family ranch northwest of White River, SD, later moving into White River with her parents where she graduated high school.
On 12 August, 1961, Jeanette married her high school sweetheart, Gary Lee Cline, at the Methodist Church in Murdo, SD, and to this union four children were born. Jeanette and Gary celebrated 56 years of marriage in 2017.
Jeanette donated blood and platelets for many years. She was a very active member of the First United Methodist Church, NP Genealogical Society, Eastern Star, TOPS and Job’s Daughters where she was a Past Honored Queen.
