Jeanette Carolyn Heintzen Lawrence (May 3, 1869 – July 6, 1960) was an American writer and lecturer.

Biography Jeanette Carolyn Heintzen was born on May 3, 1869 in Sierra County, California, the daughter of Charles Heintzen, Jr and Sarah V. Busch. From both her father's and her mother's sides she was descended from California pioneers: Charles Heintzen, Sr. drove the stagecoach for Wells Fargo, sometimes hiding the gold from the North Yuba River mines in butter churns on their way to San Francisco, via Marysville; August Busch partnered with Herringlake in establishing the Wells Fargo building in Sierra City.

She moved to Sacramento in 1910 and lived at 918 Mission Way, Sacramento, California. She first married Carey and later married Richard Kay Lawrence (1881–1953) and had two children: Charles Josef Carey (from the first husband) and Richard Jay Lawrence (1907–1994) (from the second husband).

Jeanette Lawrence died on July 6, 1960, and is buried at East Lawn Memorial Park, Sacramento.
