Greenville woman was rural letter carrier

---- — Jeannette Irvine of Greenville, passed away at 2:41 p.m. Saturday, July 24, 2010, in the hospital of Sharon Regional Health System after an illness. She was 85 years old.

“Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Proverbs 31: 28-29.

Mrs. Irvine was born Feb. 19, 1925, in Greenville to her parents, Harold and Pearl Hills Landfried.

Her true joy in life was loving her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
