She attended the Thief River Falls High School graduating in 1947, continuing her education at Moorhead State University where she graduated with a teaching degree. She began her teaching career in the Campbell School District.
Jeannine married Virgil Jacklitch on June 19, 1951. After their marriage they lived and farmed together on their farm by Campbell. Jeannine continued teaching for a few years, then did substitute teaching in both elementary and high schools in the surrounding area. They retired in 1981, spending summers on Otter Tail Lake and wintering in Mesa, Ariz. In April of this year, they moved into the Lakeview Senior Living Apartments in Battle Lake.

After retirement, she attended St. James Catholic Church, rural Underwood, Minn., and Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Battle Lake. Jeannine enjoyed gardening, was a great cook, enjoyed playing bridge, loved to dance and was an avid reader. Her primary devotion, however, was her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
