Jeanette Cardenas

Jeanette (Jenny) Marie Miller-Cardenas passed away on September 17th, 2021, at her home in Yakima, Washington. Jeanette was born on July 30th, 1955 in Yakima, Washington to Dave and Blanche Miller. Jeanette worked for many years as a CNA in the Yakima Valley. She remained in Yakima until 1995, then relocating to California, she lived in Porterville, Ca. for much of the time. Finally settling back to Yakima in 2020, to take care of her father. Jeanette loved taking care of people, she was committed to performing selfless acts. She loved playing cards, smiling, dancing, old memories, crocheting blankets for the grandkids, riding on motorcycles, listening to someone else’s issues, making new friends into family, chit-chatting, her dog Bitsy, and most of all her family. Jeanette was a beautiful, loving, kind, and generous person. She would do anything for you, all you had to do was ask. She treated everyone as family, and daily would add someone that she met randomly to the “tree”. She had the “Gift of Gab”. She didn’t have a mean bone in her body, and always put her issues last when it came to other people. Jeanette will be missed by many, and we are sure she is playing Pinochle or Cribbage with her Mom in heaven as we speak.
