Janie had a strong relationship with God. Her faith never faltered no matter what obstacle got in her way. Family was her main focus and kept her going.  She loved her family very much. She was the nucleus of the family.  She devoted her life to family.  God created her to be a strong woman and knew that she was capable of raising 4 sons.  She constantly worried about her sons regardless of how old they became. She was always willing to give of herself.  She was the person friends and family called when they needed help. They knew that she would never turn them down regardless of her own health issues.

Janie loved Pollard Memorial United Methodist church and was very active.  She was a member of the United Methodist Women (President), Pastoral Parish Council, Choir, Executive Council, Sunday Kindergarten teacher and Chaired Annual Bazaar. Many years ago she worked at Whosoever Mission which helped those individuals in need.

Janie attended Lanier High and was proud that she was a member of the National Honor Society. She sang in the school choir.

Rest in peace Janie. You will always be in our hearts and memory.

We will miss you.
