"Hello everyone, we are the family of Jeanette Santana, and we are reaching out to share an update regarding Jeanette Santana.

On March 25, 2025, she was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm due to an onset episode which led Jeanette to believe she was having a stroke and having to call 911. In the following weeks after her diagnosis, she underwent an angiogram to get a better view and size of the aneurysm. During her 5-hour recovery, Jeanette suffered two back-to-back strokes, and she was then kept hospitalized. In the last couple of months, she has had to make some life-changing decisions that led her to leave her career and make some personal moves. To save Jeanette's life and preserve vital motor functions, doctors have scheduled an open brain surgery (craniotomy) for August 3rd, 2026

Those that personally know Jeanette knows she is a daughter,mother, grandmother, a sister, friend and a spouse

Jeanette, is loyal, loving, kind, and always present and willing to give from her heart. She will be the first to pray for you and with you. She is definitely a prayer warrior. Jeanette is always smiling and joyful. Even through this difficult time Jeanette has remained joyful, brave and continues to have an undeniable Faith that only comes from the God she loves and serves so openly.

"This news has been a sudden and overwhelming shock. The recovery period is expected to be intense, lasting weeks and into months, during which Jeanette will be unable to work, drive, or manage daily tasks. As her family/ spouse this unexpected medical crisis has put an immense financial strain on our family."
