Jeanette was born on February 1, 1938, in Jamestown township, the daughter of Delvan and Irene (Wiederholt) Timmerman. She was united in marriage to Faber A. Runde on November 22,1958 at Immaculate Conception Church in Kieler, WI.

Jeanette was a member of the Immaculate Conception Parish and its CCW (Council of Catholic Women). She helped put together the1977 Immaculate Conception Parish cookbook. She was also a member of the Women’s Fire Auxiliary for over 30 years. She attended Immaculate Conception Grade School, Kieler and St. Clara’s Academy, Sinsinawa.

She was the best secretary for forty years for Runde’s Feed Service and managing calls for the Town Chairman, Faber.

In her younger years, she worked in her huge garden. She was an awesome baker – her cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls were always a huge hit at family gatherings – everyone was held to a dinner roll limit for holiday meals (it was supposed to be 2 per person). Her family loved her homemade lemon meringue pies and the special treat of fresh baked bread – eaten right out of the oven. Her homemade bread always sold out fast at the parish bake sales. She could also sew just about anything. She was an avid reader. She loved spending time with family and playing games of Euchre, Yahtzee and Farkle.

Surviving is her husband, Faber Runde; her four daughters: Joanne Runde of Dubuque, IA, Laura (Mike) Doherty of Madison, WI, Nancy Runde of Neenah, WI, Debra (Tom) Larson of Peosta, IA; her grandchildren: Lindsey (Rob) Peebles, Jennifer (Dan) Merrill, Brianna (Patrick) Whaley, Mikaela Doherty and Maddy Larson; her step-grandchildren: Molly Doherty, Kelly Doherty and James Doherty; her great-grandchildren: Eleanor and Charles Merrill and Mariana Peebles, and baby Whaley coming in January 2025; many nieces and nephews; her in-laws: Alvina (Eldred) Timmerman, Donna (Lloyd) Runde, Ruth (Kenneth) Runde, Joyce and Howard  Hull, and Everett Runde.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Delvan and Irene Timmerman; by her infant son, Charles Runde; her infant granddaughter, Jessica (Runde) Prince; sister and brother-in-law, Mary Ann (Timmerman) and Phil Runde; sister and brother-in-law, Anita (Timmerman) and Bernard Heileman; brother, Eldred Timmerman; brothers-in-law, Kenneth Runde and Lloyd Runde; sister-in-law, Phyllis (Everett) Runde;  nephews Rick Heileman, Daniel Heileman, Tony Timmerman and niece,  Cheryl (Heileman) Franzen.
