Jeanette Louise Hinton, 82, of North Platte, passed away July 30, 2013, at Great Plains Regional Medical Center in North Platte.

Jeanette was born on Oct. 7, 1930, at LaPorte, Ind., to Orel Warner and Mabel Irene Whittaker Fair. She grew up in South Bend, Ind., and graduated from Riley High School in 1949.
