Jeanette was born August 6, 1929 in Dubuque, IA, daughter of Charles and Ada (Johnson) Pfeiffer.  She married Roy Laufenberg on May 19, 1949 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Dubuque, IA.  Roy preceded her in death on June 4, 2016.

Jeanette worked for many years at the Julien Motor Inn after raising her children.  Prior to that she was a stay-at-home mom who took her children on many camping adventures throughout the United States along with her devoted husband, Roy.  They were charter members of the Dubuqueland Campers Club and members of the National Campers and Hikers Association, NCHA.  After her children were raised, Jeanette became a devoted grandmother and great grandmother.  Roy and Jen’s house on Delmonaco Street became the go-to place for family gatherings and holidays.  Jen was famous for her Thanksgiving dinner and home-made goodies, which were especially plentiful during the family Christmas celebration.  Her grandchildren loved their trips to grandma’s house where they were consistently spoiled.
