She continued her education at a two-year business college in Minneapolis and received a degree in business.

Jeannette was united in marriage to Harold Andrew Nelson on October 17, 1943, at the Lutheran Church in Little Falls. While Harold was working for Green Giant, they lived in Le Sueur, Cokato, Glencoe, and then back to Le Sueur where they made their home. Their marriage was blessed with three children, Charlotte, Allen, and Pamela. Jeannette and Harold shared 63 years of marriage until Harold passed away on February 6, 2006.

Jeannette was a loving wife, mother, and homemaker. She volunteered at the Le Sueur food shelf and at the nursing home beauty salon in Le Sueur.

In 2016, Jeannette moved to Glencoe to be near her daughter, Charlotte and joined Christ Lutheran Church in Glencoe.
