Janet Anne Nelson Eades
Janet Anne Nelson Eades, 68, of Hamlet passed away Tuesday, September 15, 2009
at Carolinas Medical Center. She was born June 30, 1941 in Forsythe County, a
daughter of the late William McKinley and Ailene Trivette Nelson. Janet was a
long- time active member of Second Baptist Church of Hamlet until her health
declined in recent years. Her memory will be treasured dearly by her family.
She was in a loving marriage to Jack for 52 years and will be missed beyond
words. She was a loving and supportive mother and introduced her four children
to a relationship with Jesus Christ. They are eternally grateful and consider
her witness, spirit, and devotion the most generous of blessings. Her
granddaughters loved their “Nanny”. They brought great joy to her and she
enriched their lives immensely. Over the years Janet served and sacrificed for
God, family, and friends with a loving and tender spirit. She will remain in
their memories and hearts forever as she abides in her Eternal Home.
