Jeanette Kathryn (Bourgeois) Book, was born on February 6, 1938, to Joseph and Doris (Belkey) Bourgeois. She was raised on a rural farm in Carp, Minnesota.

On January 9, 1954, Jeanette was united in marriage to Jack Book, in Baudette, Minnesota. They started their marriage in Baudette, where their first daughter, Julie, and son, Jeff, were born. After a few years, they moved to Virginia, Minnesota, where their third child, Joni, was born. Then they moved to Minneapolis, where their fourth child, James, was born. They bought a house in South Minneapolis, where they resided and raised their family.
Jeanette was a stay at home mom and cared for her husband and children. Her family was very active in school activities and sports, which kept her busy along with fishing and camping trips. Jeanette was an avid walker and bike rider.
The Book family gathered for Sunday dinners and family reunions, which took her and Jack, to many states for vacations. The holidays and many occasions were spent with the Bourgeois family. They returned to the Carp community, several times a year.
Jack passed away May 26, 1994, and Jeanette remained in Minneapolis. Jeanette was always there to help out the children and their growing families.
Jeanette is survived by her children: Julie Heimerl of White Bear Lake, MN., Jeff (Dawn Froiland) Book of Richfield, MN., Joni Book of Litchfield, MN., James Book of Brooklyn Center, MN., siblings: Carol Nelson, Judy Bourgeois, Jerome (June) Bourgeois; and many nieces and nephews.
