Janice Gay Staley's Obituary
It is with deep sorrow and much love we mourn the passing of Janice Gay Staley, aged 61. Janice entered eternal rest on Easter Day, April 9, 2023 with her family by her side.
A truly selfless woman, Janice spent most of her life as a caregiver. Her smile and gift of giving are a couple of traits that will be missed by many.
Spending many years in California with her husband Gary, Janice owned a mobility business repairing wheelchairs for disabled and elderly clients. In her later years, Janice became a registered nurse to continue to care for and help others.
During her free time, Janice enjoyed painting, cuddling with her dog and socializing with her family. She will be deeply missed by her many nieces and nephews, as she was known as everyone's "Favorite Aunt."
Janice is survived by her mother Ruth Holcomb; sisters Jamie (Rich) Chapman; Joni Staley; Jerri (Gary) Nolan, brothers Jim (Becky) Staley; Jay (Angie) Staley; step-daughter Lynn (Kenny) Carr; granddaughters McKenna and Addilyn, step-son Aaron Calhoon; and many nieces and nephews.
Janice is preceded in death by her husband Gary Calhoon; father James Staley and step-father Bob Holcomb.
The family welcomes donations to the American Cancer Society as an expression of sympathy in lieu of flowers.
