May 11, 1921 — March 21, 2023
Jeanette Harriman, 101 years old, of Olathe, Kansas, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 21, 2023 at Sunrise of Overland Park. She was born on May 11, 1921 in Delmenhorst, Germany to Herman and Anna (Heina) Czerner.
Jeanette grew up in Germany and met her husband, Murray, during World War II. They married in Germany and together they returned to the United States. They lived in Kansas City, Leawood, and they eventually settled in Olathe in 1979. She was a homemaker, but she worked as a buyer for the Jones Store for some years. She was the volunteer Bookkeeper at Prince of Peace Catholic Church for over 19 years. She also volunteered at St. Mary's Food Kitchen in KC, KS as their bookkeeper for many years. She was active in the choir at the 10:30am Mass. She was very active in the Secular Franciscan Order at Prince of Peace as well. She was an active member of the Olathe Culture Class, the Johnson County Republicans Committee, and the Heart of America Dachshund Club in Kansas City. Although she never had any children, she was a wonderful, dear friend to many people. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Jeanette is survived by her niece Doris Lange and her husband Lutz, her great nieces' Bettina and Claudia and their families, and many friends that were near to her heart.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Merwin (Murray) Harriman, her parents Herman and Anna, and her sister Toni.
