Early Tuesday morning, August 29. 2023, Betty Jean "Jeannie" Hosack passed away peacefully at age 62, surrounded by her family.

Jeannie was born to Charlie and Mary McCook in Fort Eustis, Newport News,Virginia, on May 13, 1961. Jeannie graduated from Denbigh High School in 1979 and later attended Longwood College from 1979-1980, where she studied math and psychology. Shortly after college, Jeannie's family moved to Douglas, GA, where she eventually met and married her beloved husband, Lamar Hosack. Lamar and Jeannie were married for 31 years until his untimely death left an enormous void in her heart. She had four daughters who eventually blessed her with eight grandchildren, whom she considered the loves of her life. Her grandchildren lovingly referred to her as Bebe, a title she was most proud to have. Jeannie spent the last ten years living with her daughter Candace and family in St. Marys, GA. She spent most of her days enjoying her grandchildren, sitting outside bird watching, or enjoying her favorite pastime reading, usually one of her treasured Stephen King novels.

Jeannie was preceded in death by her parents, Charlie and Mary, and her cherished husband, Lamar.

She is survived by her four daughters- Shannon McCook (Antonio) of Gloucester, VA, Jennifer Harper (Robby) of Fernandina Beach, FL, Candace Pullum (Scott) of St. Marys, GA, Summer Driver (Josh) of Ellaville, GA; eight grandchildren whom she loved deeply: Alexis, Kaden, Ramsey, Jaxson, Kyleigh, Ayden, Ryleigh, and Nolyn; 2 sisters- Kathy LaCross (Danny), JoAnn Williams (Jimmy) and 1 brother Charlie McCook (Karen). A celebration of life ceremony will be held on September 23, 2023  at Allison Memorial Chapel in St. Marys, GA at 11 a.m.

Allison Memorial Chapel is in charge of arrangements.
