Jeanette was born 12/29/1936 in Batesburg, SC to Eugene Phillips and Beatrice Buzhardt Phillips. Jeanette aka "Momma Griddle" was always a Southern gal as reflected in her delicious Southern cooking, hospitality and anecdotal stories. Her other interests included Real Estate, in which she was once licensed, and travel . She enjoyed especially traveling to her beloved Florida in which she spent much of her earlier years.

She is survived by 6 children Kerry Kim Prater (Gale), Shannon Prater (Karen), Becky Prater, Donna McGaughey (Kris), Robert Alan Browning ( Amy) and Phillip Browning (Charrissa) along with 16 grandchildren .She is survived by siblings Myrtle Cail, Eugene Steven Phillips JR, Danny Phillips, Florian Morse and Linda Donaldson as well as several nieces and nephews.
