Jeannine Chana
Jeannine Marie Chana
1938-2021
Jeannine Chana went to be with the Lord peacefully on Jan. 6, 2021, at the age of 82 at CPMC Mission Bernal in San Francisco of natural causes.
We are eternally grateful that her older brother Ron, her only sibling, was with her, by her side, as her soul slipped out of her tired body.
Jeannine was born June 7, 1938, in Los Angeles, California, to Aurelia and George Salisbury.
As a child, Jeannine spent her days helping out in her family’s restaurant, in her own way, and had many loving memories at that restaurant.
She attended Los Angeles High School and grew up visiting her aunt and uncle’s ranch in Bachelor Valley, California, for vacation.
She quickly fell in love with Lake County and decided to call it home at the young age of 19.
Jeannine met her first husband, Charles Leroy Drinnon, and had two sons, Charles and Clay. At that time, they lived in the Philo/Boonville, California area. Jeannine had many fond memories of living at a saw mill there, until they moved back to Lake County.
She later met her second husband, Eugenio Chana, in Lake County and had two more children, Eugenio and Angelica.
Jeannine was predeceased by her son, Charles George Drinnon.
Jeannine is survived by her husband, Eugenio (Camilo) Chana; sons, Clay Drinnon and Eugenio Chana; daughter, Angelica (Brian) Davis; grandsons, Jordan, Hugo, Dante, Caiden, Lincoln, Roman and Chase; granddaughters, Destiny, Briana and Audrina; brother, Ron (Darlene) Salisbury; nieces, Allison and Eryn; and nephews, Rand, Creed, Blair, Kevin and Brendon.
Jeannine never met a stranger and when she saw someone, anyone, she truly saw them through the eyes of God. She never saw white, brown, black, yellow, straight or gay, she never saw someone God did not love. She was one of the best prayer warriors we’ve known, if you were lucky enough to have known Jeannine, I guarantee you she has prayed for you.
One of her greatest desires was to share the love of Jesus and to bring people to Him. She attended many churches in Lake County throughout her life, but Big Valley Community Church was her home church for a long time.
Her greatest accomplishments were achieving the status of a loving grandmother, she adored her grandchildren but, unfortunately, her health problems intervened and she wasn’t able to spend as much time with them.
She was a wonderful wife, the best mother we could have ever asked for, and a loving sister and aunt. All of her family will mourn her passing but are thankful she is no longer in pain and look forward to seeing her again “one sweet day” in heaven.
In lieu of flowers Jeannine’s wishes were to have donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
