Jeanette was born August 3, 1926 in Greensboro to the late John and Helen Hanner Coble. She was a graduate of Kings College, worked as Clerk of Court for the Juvenile Court and as secretary for the Our Lady of Grace School.
Jeanette was a woman of many talents. She was an avid gardener, a lifetime member of the NC Garden Council, as well as a knitter and quilter fond of donating hats and quilts to many charitable organizations. She invested in her community with her time and talents and will be remembered warmly by many as a wonderful conversationalist who was deeply interested in the lives of others.
Jeanette was devoted to her family and friends and expressed her appreciation for others often. She shared a love of travel with her husband. They journeyed extensively by train throughout the US and Europe and shared many wonderful trips with their children and grandchildren.

She is survived by her son Steve Patton; daughter Benita Bryson and husband Jim; three grandchildren Melissa Hobart-Beaumari, Daniel Bryson, and Dylan Kemble; and her great-grandson Kiran Hobart-Beaumari.
