Jeanette Peoples, ‘Granny’ of E. 11th Street, dies at 81

BY CHRIS RYAN | Jeanette Peoples, who died Oct. 1 at age 81, was a fixture on her block of E. 11th Street between Avenues B and C.

She sat daily on a folding chair in front of her building, keeping a watchful eye on the local kids who played on the sidewalk.

Friends and neighbors left a memorial of votive candles outside her building’s front door.
