Jeanette Kenepp Obituary

   Jeanette I. Kenepp, 100, of Yeagertown, entered into the loving arms of Jesus, on Sunday, December 14, 2025, at home surrounded by her family.  Born on July 9, 1925 in Alexandria, PA to the late Joseph Piper and C. Pearl (Isenberg) Piper.  She was preceded in death by husband Jesse G. Kenepp. She later remarried and was preceded in death by husband William S. Kenepp.  Jeanette was preceded in death by her siblings, Josephine Himes, Betty Yoder and George Piper.  Surviving are her children Joseph Kenepp and wife Leah of Lewistown and Gayle Lynch and late husband Larry, of Yeagertown.  Grandchildren Matthew Lynch and wife Nicole, Marla Wright and fiancé Kevin Zimmerman, Douglas Kenepp and wife Roxanne and Steven Kenepp and wife Carol.  Great grandchildren Hunter Wright and wife Hannah, Jessa Hagans and husband Christian, Garrett Lynch, Gracie Lynch, Janelle Armstrong and husband Michael.  Great-great grandchildren Josie, Grant and Rori Hagans.  And many nieces and nephews.  

   Jeanette enjoyed reading, going to auctions, bus trips, sewing and spending time with her family.  She was a great cook and loved sharing meals with all that could come.  She had a special knack for flowers and gardening. Her life stretched across 100 years of history, yet she remained rooted in what mattered most: faith, family and love.  She was a faithful member of Pine Glen Church of the Brethren. She lived her life for the Lord and took everything to Him in prayer. To live 100 years is truly remarkable. Her life was a gift to all who knew her.  

   A viewing will be held at 10am, Saturday, December 20, 2025 at Pine Glen Church of the Brethren.  Followed by 11am service officiated by Pastor John Reed.   

   In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Pine Glen Church of the Brethren, 61 Pine Glen Rd., Lewistown, PA  17044; or to the charity of your choice.
