Meeting her at the gates along with our blessed Savior, Jesus Christ was her husband Richard and her mother, Sylvia, as well as many family members and friends that have gone before. Jeanie was born April 21, 1931 in St. Paris, Ohio and was a 1949 graduate of St. Paris High School. She married Richard J. Faulkner February 8, 1951. She was a faithful member of the Westville United Methodist Church, the Westville United Methodist Women and the Joy Sunday School Class. She served others in many ways and never wanted recognition, a very behind the scenes and a humble type of person. She had a card ministry and she spent many hours crafting cards for all occasions. She sent many cards to people she didn't even know, when she heard they had a need and wanted to brighten their day. Each grandchild received a special card of pictures and memories of the past year, including verses at birthday time. Her trademark, always found on the back of each card, was "To God Be The Glory OKF and the date." Jeanie enjoyed making creative cakes, birthday, wedding, anniversary, graduation, showers or any celebration or cause, just because of her love for others. Whatever the reason, if you asked for a cake she rarely said no. She also enjoyed working in her flower garden and yard and creating the many table decorations and displays for her church. She is survived by her children, She is preceded in death by her parents, Sylvia (Grube) and Warren Timothy Stradling, her husband, Richard J. Faulkner and her brothers, James Scoby, Dana and Ronald Stradling. A gathering of family and friends will be held on Monday, April 16, 2012 from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. in the VERNON FUNERAL HOME, Urbana.
