Jeanette M. Nuckolls of Manistee, formerly of Ludington, MI, passed away on January 13, 2024, just twelve days before her 103rd birthday. Born Jeanette M. Scholtz on January 25, 1921, in Kenosha, WI, she was the youngest of ten children born to John and Victoria Scholtz.

Jeanette had a passion for life and a multitude of interests. She adored cooking, singing, reading, shopping, and pursuing various hobbies, including rug hooking, card making, coloring, and crafting of all kinds.

Her devout Catholic faith was a cornerstone of her life, bringing her joy and solace throughout the years.

She was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Jeanette is preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Harry, her son Paul Lance Nuckolls, daughter-in law Susan (Weiler) Nuckolls and her granddaughter Susan M Nuckolls.
