Jeanette, the daughter of Ben and Louisa (Hubbard) Johns, was born April 11,
1930 in Britt, Iowa. She attended the Britt Community Schools and graduated in
1947.
Jeanette was united in marriage with Robert Bravick at the Little Brown Church
in Nashua on March 13, 1948. The couple made their home in Britt where they
raised their family. Jeanette was employed at the Britt grade school as a
secretary for many years.
Jeanette and Bob spent their winters in Weslaco, Texas with old and new
friends. She enjoyed her many fishing and camping trips with Bob. She loved
sewing and quilt making. Her children and their friends grew up with her
wonderful homemade chocolate chip cookies. She had even mastered the art of
making divinity, which everyone looked forward to at Christmas time. Spending
time with her 2 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren during the holidays
always brought a smile to her face.
In November 2004, Jeanette moved to the Summit House. She enjoyed living there
for 6 years. Due to her failing health she moved to Westview Care Center in
December of 2010.
Jeanette was a member of the Britt United Methodist Church. She loved making
quilts and was active in the sewing group, which met weekly at the church. She
had lovingly made quilts for all of her family members. She was also a member
of the UMW, Legion Auxiliary and Hospital Auxiliary.
Jeanette is survived by her one daughter, Rebecca and her husband Don of Clear
Lake, their family: Rachel and Corey Vespestad and Talia and Sidra of Huxley
and Andy and Jessica Newton and Silas, Matteus, Henrik and Greger of Alma,
Colorado; and one son David Bravick and his wife Jane of Silver City, New
