Jeanette Hodges Hansbrough, formerly of Floyd, passed away January 20, 2023, after a long battle with cancer. She was 80 years old. She passed away in her home in Riverview, Florida surrounded by her family.
It would be wrong to say Jeanette lost her battle because she never stopped fighting. No matter how sick she was, she was always determined. When anyone else would have broken, Jeanette stayed strong. Through her, we know what resilience and perseverance truly look like. Just because she is no longer here, her fight and determination will live on in our memories.
Jeanette is survived by her sons, Gary Hansbrough, Todd Hansbrough, and Danny Hansbrough, brothers Charles Hodges, Everett Hodges, Clyde Hodges, and sister Barbara Miles, eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
Her ashes will be laid to rest next to her husband, Gene Hansbrough, who preceded her in death at the Jacksonville Cemetery in Floyd in a private family ceremony.
