She was born January 24, 1927 in San Pierre, Indiana, to Raymond and Mary Anastasia Hine. She was the oldest of 5 children.

Gappa (Ono) were both born. Frank and Jeannette were later divorced. Jeannette later married Dorwin E. Wobith in 1962. Jeannette worked hard her whole life to provide the best life she could for her family. For what Jeannette couldn’t provide monetarily, she provided in great abundance in love, food, silly sayings and laughs. Jeannette never had much but she would give the shirt off her back to anyone who was in need. In 1976, Dorwin passed away unexpectedly. Jeannette was an avid Chicago Cubs Fan, she loved the Irish of Notre Dame, loved North Judson Basketball, and any sport her son, grandchildren or great grandchildren were a part of. Later in her life Jeannette had a long-term partner, Bill Nicolas, who preceded her in death. Jeannette and Bill spent many years on Koontz Lake and enjoyed time spent together. Anyone who knew Jeannette knew how much she loved her family. She loved telling everyone about her son, Terry, and grandsons Sean and Jason and their successes in Las Vegas. Equally she would tell everyone she could about the daily lives of her daughter, Genelle and her grandchildren, Thea, Brion, and Neil. Once she had great grandchildren, the stories began to center around those young ones. Jeannette is survived by son, Terrence Ono (Cindy) of Las Vegas, daughter, Genelle Gappa (Ken) of Mishawaka. 5 grandchildren, Thea, Jason (Angie), Sean (Fabiola), Brion, & Neil (Stacey). 12 great grandchildren, Anthony, Jordyn, Linda Marie, Ryleigh, Gavin, Braxton, Max, Cameron, Miles, Abigail, and her namesakes, Annabelle and Ellie Jeannette.
