In May 2006, Jeannette was presented the University’s Distinguished Service Award for generously serving the University and the Coastal Bend Community with her time, talents and resources.

She was a true champion for education and had a passion for helping others realize their dreams. In Fall 2006, she also made a contribution to the Women’s Center to fund internships for the academic year. These internships will more than double the size of the Center’s current staff. Jeannette inspired and touched the lives of so many at A&M-Corpus Christi. She will be remembered as a pioneer in the business world, a mentor, a philanthropist, and most importantly, a friend.
