Jeanette A. (Rhodes) Baum, age 89, of Memphis, Tn passed away on Friday, October 20, 2023. She was the daughter of the late Cecil Rhodes and Erma Stevens. She was preceded in death by her brother Cecil Rhodes, Jr. She is survived by her three daughters, Susan Trotter, Donna Ferguson (David), Joyce Harper (Bobby) and two sons, Alan and Russell. She also leaves behind 7 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.

A lifelong Memphian, Jeanette retired in 1999 after many years of service at TJ Maxx. Besides spending time with her family, she loved watching game shows and mysteries, music and dancing, outings at the casinos, and playing cards and bingo with her friends. She lived by the philosophy expressed in the poem "I Shall Not Pass This Way Again", offering a smile, compliment or kind word to others everywhere she went. Her family became accustomed to hearing "Your mom is so sweet".

The family is grateful for the care she received at Cordova Wellness and Rehab this past year.

Visitation will be Wednesday, 10/25/2023 from 1-2 o'clock at Forest Hill Funeral Home - East, followed immediately by a graveside service. Please leave your memories and condolences at Forest Hill Funeral Home website. Any memorials can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

"I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."  - Stephen Grellet
