Library, and various businesses she frequented on a daily basis. Each of these places had friends who
were very special to her and made her feel very blessed. Blake Borders, her special help-mate and
friend, was especially dear to her and made her life easier. It gave her great joy to share beautiful flowers
from her yard to her special friends and associates.
Jeannnell also enjoyed the Gadsden High School Class of 1956, especially the women's breakfast
group, who met monthly for many years . She often hosted the GHS group at Christmas in her home.
She never forgot her beloved Wagner Elementary School and East Gadsden Junior High School and the
happy memories shared there. Jeannell was an avid fan of Alabama atheletics.
Jeannell had a lengthy and brillant career with the government and had been stationed at both the
Pentagon and in Atlanta. She later was employed with Morgan Funeral Home for many years.
