Jeannette was born and spent her entire life in the St. Louis area. As a girl of sixteen, she attended the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904. Jeannette was a one time member of the St. Louis School Board and a long active member of the Board of Religious Organizations serving as President of the organization starting in 1950.
Around 1979, Jeannette sold her house in what is now Chesterfield, MO and moved into a retirement complex owned by the Scottish Rite called Scottish Towers. Scottish Towers was on Union Blvd. in St. Louis about 2 blocks from Forest Park. Jeannete could see much of the park from her 14th floor apartment, including the Muni Opera. She loved her apartment even though the neighborhood had deteriorated dramatically over the years. Fortunately, there were very few security problems while she lived there.
For many years in the early 1900's, this same stucture was a very upscale St. Louis hotel called the Congress Hotel. What Jeannette never knew was that on the night Ott died in 1959, her son Jack, and his wife Rheta, were at a dance at the Congress Hotel.
