Janice Louise Way, age 68, entered into eternal rest on Friday, June 18, 2021, at her residence, surrounded by her loving family.
A native of Huntsville, AL, Janice Way was the daughter of the late Louise and Hussell Godsey. She met her soulmate, Bruce Way, in 1972 and they were married June 9, 1973. Married for 48 years, Janice and Bruce raised their three children, Jeromy, Kristie and James. During the early years of their marriage, Bruce served in the United States Marine Corps residing in Camp Lejeune, NC and Quantico, VA, and later went on to work for Westinghouse in Maryland, Ohio and eventually at the Savannah River Site in 1992. They have resided for the past 29 years in Warrenville, SC.
Janice accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior in 1976 and held an unwavering faith in God and possessed a true servant's heart. She was fun-loving, compassionate, full of life and grace. She radiated light to all who knew her through her smile, conversation, and nurturing kindness and always found ways to help or to be of encouragement to others without want for praise. She was a testimony to others in her Christ- like love of others.
Janice loved her church, Victory Baptist Church in North Augusta, SC, and was a member of The Friendly Persuaders Sunday School class for over 22 years. She especially enjoyed family gatherings around her dinner table, studying the bible, reading books, searching for treasures at thrift shops and spending time in Hendersonville, NC, at the 'hut' with Bruce and her beloved pet Bella.
Janice is survived by her husband, Bruce Way; their three children, Jeromy Way (Jennifer), Franklin, NC, Kristie Caldwell (Mike Jr.), Lexington, SC, James Way (Shana), Warrenville, SC; 17 grandchildren, Alyssa Way, Silas Way, Simon Way, Ginger Way, Annabel Way, Lilian Way, David Way, Sarah Way, Victor Way, Calvin Way, Christian Pittard, Brittany Patruno, Alex Caldwell, Sydney Pittard, SJ Caldwell, Jordan Way and Madison Way; brothers, Michael (Demetra) Godsey and Bobby (Judy) Godsey, Mark Godsey.
