Jeannette was born in Fall River, MA to the late Rosilda (Larivierre) and Henri Emard. She was predeceased by her many brothers and sisters.

Together, Jeannette and Aime raised 3 children that she leaves behind, Richard Lachance and his wife Donna, Celeste (Lachance) Arruda, her husband Greg, and Danielle Lachance.
Jeannette enjoyed her family more than anything else.
