Jeannine Cheryl VanRiper's Obituary
Jeannine Cheryl VanRiper was born on January 31st, 1952 in the back of her Mama Evalee’s Studebaker. She was called home to be with her Heavenly Father on the morning of June 6th, 2024. She will be greatly remembered for her spunky spirit and beautiful generosity. She had the biggest heart and smile. She was a dreamer and loved her family fiercely. Her creativity made her a great many things, but she was known for her talent as a hair stylist and was an advocate for Women, Children and fur babies. Jeannine had a strong faith and loved Jesus and Christmas so much that she kept her tree up year round to give to those in need. She was a survivor who loved to journal, dance, cook and also loved to be with Nature amongst the birds and flowers.
She is survived by her dedicated friend and husband Thomas Lee VanRiper, Father to her son Corben Michael VanRiper (and fiance’ Rachel Elisabeth Johnson). David Alan Rafeld, loving Father to her shining daughters Sherry Michelle Treadwell (Douglas Frank Treadwell) and Holly Anne Jones (Philip Gregory Jones) and her amazing companion and furbaby Kiki.
No formal services will be held per her request, however she will be cremated and scattered amongst the dolphins as she so loved the beach and the energy of the ocean. Condolences may be sent to the Family via Facebook or mailed to Sherry or Holly at their residence in Blacklick, Ohio.
