Jeannie was born in Southeast Washington, DC on October 20, 1943 – the daughter of John and Ernestine Stipp.

She lived on Yorktown Road in Bethesda, MD until graduation from Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in 1961. For two years in the late 1950s, her father’s employer (York Air Conditioning) relocated her family in the Philadelphia area (Drexel Hill, PA). A neighbor, Dick Clark, regularly gave Jeannie tickets to appear on a new television show, Bandstand, where she danced to and enjoyed the teen sensations of that era. Jeannie was a life-long fan of Elvis Presley and, later on, of Alan Jackson, and Scottie McCreery.
