Bristol: Age 56 passed away on May 3, 2016. Jeanine Lee Rogers was born on May 5, 1959 in Canandaigua, NY. Jeanine grew up in Bloomfield, NY where she graduated in 1977 from Bloomfield Central School where she was a 3 sport athlete and excelled in art. She graduated from Ithaca College with a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education. She worked as an educator and very successful track, soccer, and basketball coach for the Bloomfield district for 35 years. She had a very positive influence on the hundreds of students she taught and coached loving every one of them. Her unique talent as a coach encouraged developing athletes in the respective sport while still ensuring each athlete had fun. As a former athlete noted “Coach Pestle makes running in circles fun.”

Jeanine had a love of photography and always had her camera ready. Whether it be a holiday, sporting event, vacations, nature scenes or pets, Jeanine captured the moment and then lovingly created memory books and calendars for family, friends, and athletes. Her artistic talent was also evident in any party with the perfect decorations making every gathering extra special and unique. She was a generous soul who was the life of the party. She always showed up with her megawatt smile sporting the latest fashion trend perfectly accessorized. Dessert was another trademark of hers and many of us have gained a few pounds due to her love of sharing her creations, especially her famous chocolate chip cookies.

Her many interests included regular poker games, softball, attending country music concerts, spending time with family, the Dallas Cowboys, hanging out with friends at her pool, reading a good book, visiting her family in the 1000 Islands, gardening, shopping, and arts and crafts.

Jeanine filled many roles during her life; coach, teacher, athlete, wife, sister, daughter, favorite Aunt and leader. Jeanine’s outgoing personality made you feel right at home the moment you met her. Her spirit will remain with everyone she knew. Heaven watch out, because you got a good one!!

Born in Rochester, New York, Chrisann grew up in Ionia, and attended Bloomfield Central School and then CCFL, where she earned an Associate’s Degree. Through the years, she worked in various bookkeeping and support positions, including a stint in Washington as Assistant to Maureen Reagan. She also took on a part-time role, tending bar for many years at Mendon’s Cottage Hotel –offering her hearty laugh and ready smile to all.

But Chrisann was never really defined by what she did to earn a living. Rather, she will be remembered for her courage, her selflessness, and her zest for life. She supported countless other women struggling with breast cancer, even as she herself became more ill. She leaves us in awe of her gentle spirit, her compassion for others, and her ever-present grace under unthinkable odds. Hers was a life meant to give valuable lessons in how we might live our own. She loved her partner, Rick, her family and her friends – all deeply. Her “little star” shines on.
