Jeannette I. (Lemaire) Power, 95, of Acushnet died January 15, 2026 at Tobey Hospital surrounded by her family after a brief illness. She was the wife of the late Lawrence H. Power.

Born and raised in New Bedford, daughter of the late Alphonse and Hermine (LeBlanc) Lemaire, she lived in Acushnet most of her life.

Jeannette dedicated her life to raising her three daughters. She was an avid Red Sox and Patriots fan and enjoyed watching the games with her husband Larry.

At a young age, Jeannette learned how to knit and she carried her love for this pastime throughout her life. Most of her family and friends are in possession of at least one of the multitude of scarves she loved to make. Jeannette loved to travel, especially to places where casinos could be found. She and her husband enjoyed many vacations, including Florida, New Orleans, and Las Vegas. When Larry passed away, Jeannette continued traveling with her sisters Lorraine and Yvette. She especially loved their trip to Europe.

Jeannette's family will always remember Sunday cookouts and card games held in her backyard, as well as her annual Christmas Eve parties.

Her family would like to thank the staff at Sippican Healthcare Center and Tobey Hospital for the excellent care that Jeannette received.
