Jannie L. Grant Obituary (1921

She received her early education in the public schools of Georgetown County. Growing up in a Christian home, her religious foundation was laid. She attended St. Paul A.M.E. Church in Georgetown, SC. When she moved to Charleston, she attended Mt. Carmel United Methodist Church. Jannie migrated to Charleston in the early forties. She was employed by the J. E. Long and Charles way families for fifty-five years. Subsequently, five generations have been blessed by her care and love. She was well known for her cooking abilities. Everyone loved her favorite pastry which she named "Stickers". Of course no meal was complete without collard greens and baked macaroni and cheese. Jannie also loved to wear high-fashion clothes and elegant hats. On Monday, January 26, 2009, God in His infinite wisdom plucked another flower, our beloved Jannie. Those left to cherish her memories are eight nieces: Dorothy Grant of Charleston, SC, Lula Hamilton of Charleston, SC, Louise Rodd of Bronx, NY, Vernell Hollins (Major) of Charleston, SC, Doris Parson of Charleston, SC, Joyce Grant of Atlantic City, NJ, Sara Days (Phillip) of Miami, FL and Valeria Grant of Charleston, SC; seven nephews: James Grant, Samuel Grant and Bernard Grant all of Miami, FL, Leon N.

Way, III and family, Ellen Way Dudash and family, Sally Wise Way Howle and family, Leonard Darlington Way and family, a host of grand nieces and nephews, three sisters-in-law: Ida Grant of Charleston, SC, Josephine Grant of Atlantic City, NJ, and Cherry Bell of Georgetown, SC; a very special grand nephew, Kenneth Grant; a dear friend of many years, Justine McQueen of Mt. Pleasant, SC and a host of other relatives and friends.
