Jeanette Faye Chew, age 96, of Voca, Texas, passed away Monday, October 6, 2025, in San Angelo. Jeanette was born on December 24, 1928, in Whon, Texas, to Jim Ramsey and Alma (Behrens) Ramsey. She grew up in Voca and was a proud graduate of the Voca High School. When Jeanette was 15 years old, she met a lady one evening at one of the Voca Community Sing-along events. She was so taken with Jeanette, she mailed a picture of her to her son, who was away, serving in WW II. They became pen pals, and she met him in person when he returned home. That man was Gene Chew, and they were married on July 3, 1946, in Brady. She loved to sing and fish. She worked for AVON as a District Manager for over 25 years. She enjoyed traveling, collecting AVON bottles, and attending “game nights” in Brady with her friends. She was always “dressed to the nines” whenever she was in public. She adored her grandchildren, and she was a member of the Liberty Baptist Church in Voca. She was a lifelong resident of the Voca Community.
