Jeanette Bye-Brubaker

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Jeanette Marie Bye, who peacefully left us on February 13, 2026. She was the daughter of William Jesse Bye and Jean Carol Ann (Brennan) Bye-Weigand.

Jeanette is survived by her three children, Jessica Bye of Robesonia, Kristeana Dawson of Philadelphia and Brian Dawson of Wernersville. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Dominic and Kyler, two sisters; Kimberly Bye and Colleen Bye, three nieces; Mia Bye Saraceni, Emma Schueller, Holly Schueller and her Aunt Judy Mundell.

She fought a courageous battle for years with unwavering strength. Mom enjoyed the little things in life whether it was relaxing by the beach, savoring a hot cup of coffee or sharing laughter with family and friends. She enjoyed poetry, often times writing some of her own. But her greatest joy was being surrounded by loved ones, and she cherished every moment with her children and grandchildren. Holidays were especially dear to her. She had a unique gift for transforming every celebration into something special, always going the extra mile to make sure every detail was perfect and everyone felt the love and warmth she so freely gave.

Though we are heartbroken, we find comfort in knowing her spirit will always remain with us. Her love and laughter will continue to guide us, and we will carry her memory close to our hearts. We love you, Mom. May you rest in peace.
