The clock of life is whind but once and where it stops noone knows. Time stood still for Ms. Jannette Elliott-Williams, 74, on Sunday, April 4th at her residence in Yemassee. She was a daughter of the late Jesse Elliott and Mary Chisolm Elliott. A honor graduate of the Colleton High School, Class of 1964, she matriculated with various institutions of higher learning including the University of SC. Jannette had an adventurous spirit and a desire to grow and achieve that led her to work and reside in various places: Brooklyn, NY, Kansas City, KS, and Bridgeport, CN. She was employed numerous years with the Dreyfuss Export Company. In the early 80's, she returned to South Caolina and became employed with the Aging Program of the Lowcountry Council of Governments, Yemassee, SC. In 1987, she became the Director for the Beaufort County Council on Aging, Beaufort, SC. She retired from this tenure of employment after more than 25 years of dedicated service.
In her latter years, she explored her passions. She sketched , painted, planted flowers, refurbished furniture, and wrote poetry. This was in addition to sharing her years of government administrative experience with the Town of Yemassee. She was very adamant about making the "Town" attractive and helped to establish a citizen committee to this end. Jannette was an avid reader and enjoyed "fine" restaurants. She kept in touch with those she had met over the years and as well as her network of family and friends locally.
Jannette was a member of the Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, Yemassee, SC.
Her life will be celebrated and her passing mourned by: her siblings, nieces and nephews, uncle and aunt, and a host of cousins and friends.
