Jeanette Perry

Jeanette Perry, a devoted daughter, sister, mother, and grandmother; a woman who loved and was loved by all she encountered, gained her angel wings at the tender age of 81.

Born July 26, 1945, she was one of five children born to Eugene and Rosa Perry. She spent her entire life in Newton County, attending Washington Street Elementary School furthering her education graduating from R.L. Cousins High School.

Jeanette found her church home with Sims Chapel Baptist Church where she served as a loyal and faithful member for decades. She participated in several committees throughout her tenure, with her most recent assignment being the President of the Mother Board. During her life, she had two separate bouts with breast cancer successfully completing her treatments and serving as a champion and listening ear for other women in Newton County experiencing the same.

Jeanette completed her earthly journey in her home November 7, 2026, surrounded by family and friends. She was reunited with those who preceded in death.

She leaves her legacy to be carried on by her granddaughter, Quenisha Perry, daughter in law, Janet Perry; two brothers, Guy Perry (Dorothy) and George Perry (Fannie) and host of  nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
