Jeanette Haustein

Jeanette Ann (Frick) Biles-Haustein May 8, 1936 – August 10, 2025 At 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 10, 2025, Jeanette Ann “Jeanie” Haustein, 89, of Eustis, Florida, formerly of Naples, Florida, and Michigan, entered peacefully into the Heavenly Realm. Jeanette was born on May 8, 1936, to Elmer and Ann Frick and graduated with the Class of 1955 from Clarkston High School. Following graduation, she began a twenty-year career with GMC Truck & Coach Engineering in Pontiac, MI, retiring in 1975. She married Allen Ream Biles in 1957, with whom she shared a family. In 1978, she married Norman Eugene Haustein, with whom she shared 38 years of love and devotion until his passing in 2018. A devoted community servant, Jeanette was active in the Naples Women’s Club (GFWC) from 1997 until 2025, serving as Past President and Sustaining Member. She was also a longtime member and Past President of Naples P.E.O. Chapter HV, and later a member of the Golden Triangle P.E.O. Chapter C in Eustis. Jeanie loved The Wizard of Oz, collecting memorabilia from the film, and she admired the work of Arizona artist Ted DeGrazia. She also cherished Southwest Native American art, jewelry, and pottery. As a member of the Audubon Society, she found joy in birds, butterflies, and all of God’s creation. Her favorite flowers—lilies, roses, sunflowers, and daisies—reflected her gentle and vibrant spirit. Jeanette is survived by her loving son, Rev. Allen Biles, Sr.; grandchildren Allen, Steven, Christopher, Kevin, and Lydia; 21 great-grandchildren; and her eagerly awaited great-great grandson, due October 1, 2025. She is also survived by her sister, Marlene Torretti, along with nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless friends who fondly called her “Mama,” “Mom,” “Grandma,” and “Friend.” She was preceded in death by her husband Norm, two grandchildren Adam and Andrea, her parents, sisters Joyce Hoffman and Sharon Hinze, and brothers Ronald, Gerald, Roger, Melvin, Marvin, and Milton Frick.
