Jeannette A. Walters, 88, of Bethlehem, passed away peacefully on Saturday September 7, 2019 at Lehigh Valley Hospital, Muhlenberg. She was predeceased by her husband of 42 years, the late Warren H. Walters. Born in Freemansburg, she was the daughter of the late William E. and Virginia E. (Bowman) Patton.
