Janice was born June 24, 1950, in Choctaw County, MS, to Calton O. and Etoy(Dean) Wells. She was 71 years old and a member of Macedonia Baptist Church in Decatur, MS.

Janice loved life and loved helping others. Until health problems began to plague her active life, you would find her out and about doing her favorite things….offering assistance to someone who was hurting, babysitting her grands and great-grands which were the joy of her life, helping her husband with his business, and, of course, shopping!
She worked in several different jobs before health issues forced her to retire. Her final place of employment was Winston Medical Clinic in Louisville, MS, where she made many life-long friends of which she often spoke.
