Carol "Jeannette" Venson was born September 17, 1980 in New Albany, MS. She departed this life on Friday, August 6, 2021 at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo.
After graduation Jeannette joined the Army National Guard giving six years of service.
She had one of the most giving and sweetest spirits. She had a contagious smile and one of the kindest hearts. She was a loyal friend and even loyal to her employers. She was employed by Toyota for 10 years, and Mill Creek for 18+ years.
Jeannette loved shopping, travelling, trying new restaurants, and gatherings with family and life-long friends…Addie, Martine, Eugenia, Kim and Nakia. One of the things Jeannette wanted most in life was to be a mother. That dream came true and she was carrying a baby boy which she named Xavier Kyree, "Zay."
