Born in Oregon, Ohio on June 23, 1954, Jeanine was the daughter of the late Casper and Floester Halada. Jeanine, a Rossford class of '72 graduate, went on to receive her baccalaureate degree in English education from Florida State University in 1994. She furthered her education at FSU, earning her Master's degree in 1998. Jeanine resided in Bainbridge where she taught English both at Bainbridge High School and Bainbridge State College for nearly twenty years.
