It's a couple thousand year old one-syllable name. The feminine for John. If you want people to use the diminutive, Jeannie, that's up to you. But then you have to spell it with an ie at the end. J-e-a-n-n-e is simply not pronounced Jeannie--except by uncultured idiots.

Generally, it would be [dʒin] in phonetic symbols (except those first two are connected). In reference to other words, it's jean, like jeans; or gene, like genes or the name Gene.
But the person whose name this is might have a certain way she likes to pronounce her name, so you can ask her; she won't be offended.

The traditional prononciation of this spelling is "jean" (as in "blue jeans"). But i think people also have gotten to pronouncing it "jean-ee", although with that pronounciation is should be spelled Jeannie (with the added "i").
