Jeannette was born in Utica on August 4, 1923 a daughter of Frank and Catherine (Myrdek) Baran. She received her education in the Utica schools. On November 18, 1945 Jeannette married John W. Munn in Utica. She was employed with the General Electric Co. for many years at a time when it wasn't popular for women to work outside the home.
