Jeanette Stills
<p><p>Jeannette Stills, beloved daughter of the late Hattie Lee Stills and Henry Lee Stills Sr., peacefully departed this life on July 14, 2025. Born on October 20, 1955, in Albany, GA. She received her education in the Dougherty County Public School system and was the youngest of eight siblings. At the age of 12, the Stills family settled in Trenton, NJ, where Jeannette was embraced by a community that valued her kindness and spirit. Throughout her life, she worked at Applegarth Nursing Home, Fort Dix Army Base, and Ricks Bus Company, from which she later retired. Her ability to connect with others left a lasting impression on coworkers to remember.</p> <p>Jeannette, often known as "Razor Sharp," is remembered for her candidness and fearless self-expression. If you dare to start an argument with her, prepare yourself she will have the last word, the last laugh, and a funny comeback. Beyond her strong personality, she had the qualities of a loving and devoted mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.</p> <p>She had a talent for whipping up the most outrageous nicknames, whether you liked it or not. In her free time, she enjoyed the excitement of scratch-off tickets, shopping, and dining out. Her warm, caring nature brought family together and comforted many. She will always be remembered and deeply missed.</p> <p>Jeannette was predeceased by her parents, Hattie Lee Peterson-Stills and Henry Lee Stills; three brothers, Willie Henry, Tommie Lee, and Jessie Stills; three sisters, Mary Magdalene Stills, Gracie Bradford, and Mary Lois Nelson-Kelly.</p> <p>Jeannette leaves behind her loving family, a son, Montaniz Stills, a daughter, Calandra Stills-Paige (Stacey), grandsons, Montaniz Jr., and Joel Stills, Ayden Blackman, granddaughters, Tyneigha Stills, Akyera Blackman, Andrea Watkins, great-grandson, Tykir Stills-Davila, god-children, Velvet Cason, Corey McCoy, Tynisha Madu, Irvin Jackson, all of Trenton, NJ. Two sisters: Martha Stills of Trenton, Rosetta Knox (Calvin) of Kansas, special cousins Eddie Robinson, extended sisters: Leona Burgess, Sandra and Mother Duncan, Sue Glover, Loan Gaines, Mattie Stills, Deidre Rawls, Betty White, Nadine Blackman; and a host of nieces, nephews, and close friends.</p> <p> </p> <p> Funeral service will be 11am Thursday, July 24, 2025 at Hughes Funeral Home, 324 Bellevue Ave., Trenton, NJ 08618.
