Jeanette Inman
Dec. 1, 1922-April 28, 2015
Palo Alto, California

Jeanette Owen Inman, 92, peacefully passed away Tuesday, April 28, in Palo Alto. She was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Arthur N. Inman.

Jeanette was born in San Jose in 1922, where she spent her childhood as a student of music and dance. She attended SJSC where she was active in Ero Sophian/Alpha Phi sorority, and her abilities in dance, playing piano, art, journalism and choreography were applied and appreciated.

After her marriage to Art Inman and the birth of their three children, Linda, Diane and Roger, her involvements increased to community volunteer, terrific cook, dance teacher and "hostess with the mostest." She is remembered for 60 years of creative and much-looked-forward-to Christmas cards which chronicled the family's activities in photos and stories.

She and Art were members of Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club and the Monterey Peninsula Country Club, and they were active in the Suburbans Social Club. She enjoyed homes in Redwood City, Atherton, Menlo Park, Pebble Beach and Truckee where she spent time with her family and friends. She and Art spent 40 summers fishing for salmon in Canada and loved the "big catch."

Jeanette leaves her children, Linda Chilton and her husband Rand of Atherton; Diane Inman and her husband Verne Johnson of Vashon, Washington; Roger Inman and his wife Marla of Menlo Park; grandchildren, Josh Chilton and his wife Stacey of Redwood City, Matt Chilton and his wife Holly of Atherton, Kiel Johnson of Portland, Keith Inman of Menlo Park and Elizabeth Inman of Menlo Park; great-grandchildren, Samantha and Natalie Chilton of Redwood City and Hunter and Aiden Major of Atherton.
