Anna Jeanette was born December 14, 1923 in Timmer, ND, the daughter of Axel and Elsa (Ryman) Gustafson. Anna was best known as Jeanette. The family moved to Mandan in 1938. She attended county schools and graduated from Mandan High School in 1942. She started working for Northwestern Bell Telephone in 1942 to 1951. She married Andrew Kupper on October 7, 1946.

Jeanette loved to bake, sew, gardening, and canning. She volunteered countless hours at Christ the King School mending books. One of her passions was going fishing with Andrew and she received a few awards for the largest fish.

Jeanette had a strong faith, which showed by her kindness, love to others, and by giving of herself. She was a prayer warrior.

Jeanette will be deeply missed by her two daughters, Camille of Bismarck and Deanna (Stan) Thompson of Gig Harbor, WA; son-in-law, Stan of Washington; and several nieces and nephews.

Jeanette was preceded in death by her husband, Andrew; parents; sister, Selma; three brothers-in-law, and two sisters-in-law.
