Mrs. Jeanette Brown answered God's call to come when He whispered in her ear at 5:30 am Friday morning March 12, 2021 at Hospice of Savannah.
Jeanette E. Brown was born July 15, 1936 in Savannah, Georgia to the late Abraham and Mary Bennett. She was educated in the public schools of Savannah-Chatham County.
She was a lifelong member of First Mount Bethel Baptist Church where she served faithfully as a member of Usher Board #2. Jeanette also served on the Missionary Board and was a New Members class Teacher. She was a member of the Baptist Training Union and a member of the Deacon's wife's association. She was ordained as Deacon under the leadership of Pastor Leroy Kirkland. She was a faithful attendee of Bible Study and Sunday School. Affectionately called Mother Brown at First Mount Bethel, she served as one of the Mothers of the church until her illness prevented it.
Her Favorite hymn is Amazing Grace and her favorite scripture is Psalm 119:109, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path".
Jeanette was united in Holy Matrimony to Deacon Peter J. Brown (who preceded her in death).
She was employed by Dr. Leon and Mrs. Barbara Aronson for a number of years and later becoming the Owner/Operator of Brown's Day Care.
