She is also survived by her Father Gary Haugsted, and one sister Judy Culpepper and husband Randy, and their two sons and their children, and one brother, Jody Haugsted, and his three sons and their children; her long time friend/sister Debbie Miller of Springfield, Missouri; and many aunts, uncles, great nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends.
Jeannie is preceded in death by her mother, Naomi Ballou, and her grandparents, Anna and Ralph Barton, and Arvin and Mary Haugsted, and several aunts and uncles.
Visitation will be held from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, in the Main Room of Robertson-Drago Funeral Home. Memorial contributions may be made to the family, and may be left at or mailed to Robertson-Drago Funeral Home, 211 W. Main St., West Plains, Missouri.

Even in the midst of her own health issues, she always worried about others. She was a kind person. She always had a smile for me. As we mourn her passing, we celebrate her Heavenly reunion.

Jeannie was one of the most loving and dedicated parents that I had the privilege of working with over the course of my 30 year teaching career. She loved her children with all her heart, and advocated for them fiercely. I know you will all miss your mother, but how fortunate you are that God chose you to be hers!

She was my best friend cousin sister all rolled into one. We use to call each other all hours of the night just to vent or talk. Going to be really lonesome without her here. But I know she’s in heaven and out of pain and meserie. Love you sis for now and forever
