Mrs. Jeanette Lord Frost was born April 4, 1933 in Johnson County, Georgia to Alton and Mary Kersey Lord. Both of her parents died at an early age, leaving their grandmother, Nancy Kersey, to raise Jeanette and her four siblings. Jeanette was a devoted Christian and a wonderful granny to many.
For 40 years, she worked as a seamstress at Apparelcraft Industries before becoming disabled and retiring. She was an avid seamstress, who loved sewing for her grandchildren. She also loved sewing for others and making clothes to sell for people in the surrounding area. She loved to fish, reading and going shopping with her sisters until their health declined. Jeanette enjoyed the simple things of life and nothing pleased her more than serving her Lord and Savior and being with her family.
Along with her parents, she was also preceded in death by her loving husband, H.N. Frost, her younger brother, Douglas Lord, who was more of a son than a brother and a sister, Estolene Dickens.
She is survived by a daughter, Peavy (Lanier) Hudson of Wrightsville, who will miss her so much, a son, Greg (Lisa) Rowland, who also loved her dearly and two sisters, Christine Rowland and Allie Dean Mason. She was a devoted granny who prayed faithfully daily for her grandkids, Whitney (Jim) Claxton, Kerrie Maddox, April Everett and Sharee McDonald, eight grandchildren, John Harris Carter, Annie Blye McDonald, Ella McDonald, Emily Joe McDonald, Kauldin Everett, Lawton Claxton, Abby Everett and Hudson Maddox and one great-great-grandchildr, Emma Carter and a loving sister-in-law, Avon Lord.
