Jeanette Jones Elliott, 92, of Montgomery died peacefully at her home on September 8, 2021. She was born in Wetumpka, Alabama on September 4, 1929 to Lloyd Edward Jones and Mary Mullins Jones.
She was preceded in death by her husband, William Frank Elliott (Frank), her brother Lloyd Edward (Edd) Jones, Jr. , her parents and her grandparents, Henry and Iris Mullins and Edward Abraham and Elizabeth Jones.
She is survived by her daughters, Barbara Elliott Clark (Dan) and Cynthia Elliott Black as well as five grandchildren: Claire Connolly, Dale Clark, Christopher Black, Hunter Black and Alex Riegel. She is also survived by seven great grandchildren.
Jeanette was a graduate of the University of Alabama and worked for the Federal Government and the State of Alabama for more than thirty years. She was the true matriarch of the family and could always be depended upon to give sage advice and to always tell the truth. She was a very modest, but extremely intelligent woman who could always be depended upon to show the utmost kindness and integrity in all things. She was loved by all who had the privilege of knowing her and was a truly selfless person. She valued education and made certain both of her daughters had a good education so they could stand independently if needed. “Grandmother” as she was known by her grand and great grandchildren was also known as “The Amazing One” as she could do absolutely anything in their eyes. She could make or fix anything and she always made sure the little and not so little ones had fun whenever they visited. She was a master crossword puzzle and cryptoquote solver for many years. She was a good friend and a grateful neighbor. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
