Jeanette M Chang of Deerfield Beach, FL passed away the morning of December 26, 2018 at the age of seventy-seven. Jeanette was in great spirits on Christmas surrounded by loving family and holiday joy. Jeanette was always immersed in boundless love. Jeanette was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. She attended Alpha Academy where her kind spirit blossomed. Jeanette is survived by her four children (Dean Chang, Juliette Nicholson, Gary Chang, and Karen Carter), five grandchildren (Alexandra Henry, Catherine Chang-Giovannoni, Brandon Chang, Justin Chang, and Isabella Sharp), and a host of adoring family members and friends.
Jeanette was the rock and centerpiece of her family. In her younger years she was a hard worker, after losing her husband “Ramsay” at an early age, she raised her four children on her own, all while always seeing the positive light in things and giving anything she could to those she loved.
Above all, though Jeanette’s greatest pride were her grandchildren as their beloved Japo. She was blessed to have had a special relationship with each of them. Japo will be deeply missed but never gone—her footprint will forever exist, especially by way of her children and grandchildren.
There will be a viewing on Sunday, January 6, 2019 from 5:00-8:00 PM at Kraeer-Becker Funeral Home, with a funeral service at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church, Deerfield Beach on Monday, 10 AM, January 7, 2019. For those inclined to do so (though such is certainly not expected), a charitable donation to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in Jeanette’s name (in lieu of flowers or the like) would be very much appreciated by Jeanette and her family. The site to donate is www.stjude.org
