Jeanette “Jean” Bazen Putnam, 82, of Florence, SC, passed away surrounded by her loving family on Saturday, September 24, 2022.

June; and four brothers, Howard Bazen, Wally Bazen, John Bazen and Petie Bazen.
Jeanette was a member of South Florence Baptist Church for over 40 years. She trained as a cosmetologist at Betty Stevens and also helped her husband run Putnam’s Heating and Air, but she got the most joy out of meeting and talking with friends while she worked at Bazen’s, she never met a stranger. She was an avid reader and was the “Napping Queen”.

The family will receive friends from 6:00 until 8:00 PM on Tuesday, September 27, 2022 at Cain Calcutt Funeral Home.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of the CCU at McLeod Regional Medical Center, Chireen Hyler and Herschel Anderson for all of their love and support.
