Summary: Jeanette K. Anderson, 62, of Watford City, ND, passed away peacefully January 11, 2025, at the McKenzie County Hospital in Watford City, leaving behind a legacy of love and kindness. Memorial services were held January 21, 2025, at the First Lutheran Church in Watford City, with Garrett Gudmunsen and Matthew Rolfson officiating. Jeanette was born on December 10, 1962, in Waford City to Norman and Loretta Anderson. In her younger years, she lived in Keene and then moved to Watford City with her parents and two sisters. She attended Watford City High School in the graduating class of 1981. In 1987 Jeanette met the love of her life, Charles Ceynar. They were lifelong partners until the day she passed away. Charles and Jeanette had one son, Marc Ceynar. She also had two stepdaughters, Tanya and Janelle. She refused to be called a stepmom, “I came into your life after you were born but that doesn’t matter. You girls are my daughters.” She had incredible love for her family. Jeanette worked at Schafer SuperValu from 1980-1983. When Susan and Mike Tschetter bought the grocery store and renamed it Mikes SuperValu, she became one of the longest employees of 30 years. Her dedication to the many customers and co-workers is still remembered 12 years after her retirement. Jeanette had many passions, and she put her whole heart into each one. First and foremost, she was a devoted grandmother. She proudly referred to herself as “Head Granny at Granny’s Daycare.” Owen, Colton, Liam, Levi, Jayden and Austen will never forget her love, dedication, and how she made each one feel special. The boys are truly blessed. She also loved her fur babies: Eddie, Skippy, and Sami. Another passion of Jeanette’s was quilting. When she completed one, it was a creative piece of art that was shipped all across the United States. Any time there was a fundraiser, auction, benefit supper or raffle, Jeanette always donated one of her unique, one-of-a-kind quilts. Jeanette was also an avid coin collector, phenomenal cook (the best meatballs and prime rib!) and photographer. Volunteering her time and helping coordinate events were truly important to her. From the VFW Auxiliary, Legion Auxiliary, Boy Scout Troop 382 Treasurer, Silent City Cemetery Secretary/Treasurer and President of Friendly Fifteen Homemakers were just a few. She enjoyed every moment of putting her time and effort into these organizations. Jeanette had such a widespread, amazing impact on the community. She was kind, dependable, and fiercely loyal. Jeanette is survived by her son, Marc (Jeana) Ceynar; daughter, Janelle Ceynar; life partner, Charles Ceynar; mother, Loretta Anderson; grandchildren, Colton and Owen Ceynar, Liam Hersch, Austen and Jayden Huckaba, and Levi Wilson; sisters, Roxanne Anderson, Carla Anderson; brothers-in-law, Bruce Ceynar, Brad Ceynar; many aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her father, Norman Anderson; daughter, Tanya Ceynar; beloved dog, Sami; brother-in-law, Keith Ceynar; her grandparents, along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
