Jeannette enjoyed rural life at Winrock Farms, located atop Arkansas’s picturesque Petit Jean Mountain, and took an active interest in the farm’s management and the surrounding community. She participated in the annual cattle sale, arranged for the comfort of visiting guests, and supported the local school. Jeannette’s early years in Arkansas were her most carefree and relaxed. She relished time with her children and new husband. Soon, she would delve into leadership positions as Arkansas Arts Center President, the National Association for Mental Health President, and First Lady of Arkansas.
