I worked with Jeanette in the District Attorney's office. She trained me to help her with administrative duties. She was very knowledgeable with excellent teaching skills which helped me to understand and quickly grasp the subject.  
I appreciated seeing her dedication and loyalty, those qualities I chose to imitate as my career progressed.

My condolences to the family.  I share this scripture which gives hope to you and to all of us:
Isaiah 25:8 - "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces..... For Jehovah himself has spoken it."

Jeanette was my neighbor for many years.
How blessed and thankful am I to have
not only been good friends with her, but to have witnessed and gained strength from her faith and commitment to her Lord and Savior. Even with all her health issues, Jeanette would always, always try her best, which would then inspire and encourage those around her to do likewise. She would also always look her best, coordinating her outfits down to jewelry and make up. She was gentle, kind, sweet, generous and so loved her family. She walked humbly with her God...who loved her so much He made her attractive inside and out, and made another one just like her. Here's to you. Jeanette & Janice.

I thank God I met Jeanette! I was recently divorced and felt God had abandoned me. I was Catholic at the time. A friend suggested I call Rehoboth Baptist Church. I called the church for info and they sent out Jeanette and Mary who encouraged me and welcomed me to Sunday School and church, where I heard the Gospel, accepted Jesus as my savior and received salvation.  Jeanette was truly a child of God and without my meeting her I don’t know where I would be today! May she rest in God’s arms, I I pray for peace and good memories for her family🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.

Jeanette was a loving, loyal, determined person who served her family, employer, church, friends and faith well.  Crisco must have been happy to see her at last.

It is with great sadness that I write this note of condolence to the family members of Jeanette Barfield.  I knew Jeanette and her sister from the Fulton County District Attorney's Office where I was employed as an Investigator.  Jeanette was kind and always had a remark, or a reply when one tried to be sly, or slick.  She knew every employee from Attorneys, Investigators and support staff.  In fact, after the District Attorney (Lewis R. Slaton) signed their employee identification, she issued the ID to the employee. She knew how the office operated, because she had a hand in many aspects to include budgeting.  She was truly missed when she retired. 

May the Lord continue to comfort and guide the family members through these difficult times.

Jeannette was my upstairs neighbor for 13 years.  I first met her in late 2009 after I was approved to purchase my condo.  After first meeting another neighbor who told my late aunt and  who I lived in my building, I met Jeannette a few days later when the inspector came.   “Good to see you ,” she said.   She also went on to tell me about her chihuahua, Crisco.  

During the years, Jeannette asked me to help her carry her groceries up the stairs, which I always loved doing.   She was a great neighbor who will be missed. 

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.  

Will remember Jeanette always had a smile. She was a kind, caring person.
