Janice Carder

Janice Carder, precious, loving wife and mother, went home to be with Jesus on October 1, 2016. Janice died peacefully at home surrounded by family and friends. Janice fought a courageous battle against Ovarian Cancer and received her ultimate healing in Heaven. Janice loved her Lord and Savior above all and she was not ashamed to share the Gospel with anyone she met. Janice touched many lives with her sweet spirit and warm personality. Janice gave God the glory for the healing he had done in her life and she always let people know that God was the reason that she lived. Janice loved spending time with her family and friends and enjoyed having Pebbles, the family’s Maltese puppy, as her constant companion. Janice appreciated all of the cards, prayers, and well-wishes that were sent on her behalf. The family would like to thank the following people: Paula Collier (daytime caregiver), Dr. Andrew Green and his staff, Dr. Frank Lake and his staff, Dr. Daniel Mullis, and Homestead Hospice and their staff.
