The night of her loss, she tweeted a photo of herself and a few close friends, writing, “My team worked extremely hard on my campaign. Republican Roger Victory won that race, with 63.279,323 votes she earned 34.242,904 votes, followed by Libertarian candidate Mary Buzuma’s 2.53,189 votes. She ran as a Democrat in last year’s race for the state senate seat vacated by the term-limited Arlen Meekhof. She will be missed deeply … please let’s continue the fight for mental healthcare and healthcare for all. In the end, we may all still be stronger just for having known her.

On Sunday afternoon, the Facebook page for last year’s campaign was updated with a message announcing her death, a statement which read, in part, “Jeanette was nothing if not a fighter for the rights of those with mental illness. Please lift up Jeanette’s family and community in prayer at this time.” Our hearts are broken and go out to her husband Matt and their children. In a tweet Friday afternoon, Western Theological Seminary announced her death, stating, the “WTS community is grieving the loss of Jeanette Schipper, Admissions Administrative Assistant, who passed away suddenly last night.
