She was born March 8, 1916, in Cleveland and adopted by Nina Belle Terrill in 1919. She began her business career in classified advertising in newspapers, including the Jamestown Post-Journal in 1948, The Arizona Daily Star and Tucson Daily Citizen in Arizona in 1950, The Concord Transcript in California in 1960, The San Francisco Progress in 1965 and The Arizona Daily Star and Tucson Daily Citizen in 1977. She began her second full-time career at age 75 as office manager for the American Cancer Society in Sun City, Ariz., retiring at age 85. Jeannette learned the value of education and business from her mother and grandfather, Clarence Eugene Terrill. Throughout her lifetime, Jeannette was an avid reader, giving her a great command of the English language. Her spelling abilities were legendary. She kept up with daily national news and politics and worked the New York Times crossword puzzle (in ink) until macular degeneration robbed her of the ability to see the printed word. She believed the key to life was a positive outlook even through adversity and always tried to find humor to lighten each day. She is survived by three daughters: Nina J. Joyce of North Highlands, Laurel G. Stults of Phoenix and Deborah D. Ferguson of Vancouver, Wash.; a son, Richard T. Armstrong of Charlotte, N.C.; six grandchildren: Sharon Wicks, Terri Lewis, Darren and Ryan Ferguson, Natalie Gress and Ashley Stults; and six great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her second husband, George David Chumbler, whom she married in 1964 in Lordsburg, N. M., and who died in 1976; and an infant daughter, Kathleen Armstrong. Her ashes will be scattered Nov. 7 in San Francisco Bay.
