Jeanette "Babbit"

Anderson

Jeanette "Babbit" Anderson, a truly liberated and majestic soul, was born on July 1, 1953, to the late Herman and Ruth Jones-Anderson in Williamson, Georgia. Like the eagles she loved so dearly, Jeanette embodied strength, vision, and grace. She soared through life with the same majesty and splendor that eagles are known for, always embracing freedom and inspiring others with her independence and wisdom.

As a proud Liberated Woman, Jeanette lived her life with courage and conviction, expressing herself freely and challenging traditions ideas. She spread her wings wide, always striving to rise higher, while offering kindness and shelter to those in need. Her home and heart were open to everyone she met, and her warmth and generosity left a lasting impression on all who knew her.

The youngest of three children, Jeanette was affectionately known as the "Boss" of the family. She was cherished by her siblings, and her influence was felt in every gathering, conversation, and hug. On Wednesday, October 30, 2024, God called one of His eagles home, and she sored peacefully into her heavenly reward.

Her legacy lives on in the hearts of her loving son, George Alfred (Marjorie) Childs, and grandchildren, George Ellis Childs, Basil Childs, Thyme Childs of Waldorf, MD, and Tabriceia Ollie David of Augusta, GA. She will be deeply missed by a special friend, George Childs of Atlanta, GA, and her sisters, Daisy Anderson-Harris of Williamson, GA, and Betty Love of Atlanta, GA., and one brother the late Herman (Dorothy) Anderson, Jr.

Jeanette's loving spirit will also be carried forward by her nieces, Rachel Gotell (Kevin), and Tamika Anderson; her nephew, Quadratus "Bo" Anderson; her great-nieces, and nephews, Chasti Ponder, Mekhi Williams, Courtni Gotell, and Corrin Head; and her god brothers, Jay, Earl, Eugene, and Dave Williams. She is also remembered fondly by her god sister Shirley Ali, and god mother, Mary Rasaw.

Jeanette was loved by a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends, whose lives she touched with her kindness and wisdom.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day". Rest in peace, Jeanette. You have soared to heights beyond, but your spirit will remain with us always.
