Janice loved to be outside in her yard and flowers. Janice and her high school sweetheart Sammy had a wonderful life together. There were many happy days spent as a family by the pool. Janice taught Sunday School at Derita Baptist Church for three decades caring for many 4 & 5 year-old children along the way. Through the years Janice worked at Bryant Supply, Stanley Tools, Sign World and Charlotte Urology Specialists.
Our family wishes to express our gratitude to Jill and Larry Southworth, mom's friends, for their consistent and loving visits with Janice in Long Creek, at the Laurels and The Haven. Mom's life was made better because of their faithful friendship. We also wish to express our gratitude for the many caregivers at The Haven and Laurels in Highland Creek. Thank you for caring for Janice these last two years with compassionate and heartfelt care. Her Hospice Nurse provided loving care and kept her family connected during these difficult times. We are grateful for the many friends and relatives from Independence Hill Baptist Church who offered visits and care with cards and prayers.
A graveside service will be held on Saturday, October 31, 2020 at 11:00 am at Hopewell Presbyterian Church in Huntersville. Rev. Todd Marlin of Independence Hill Baptist Church will officiate the service. Please be mindful to wear a mask and social distance.
