In Loving Memory of Janice L. Craighead
Though I never had the chance to meet you in person, your light was felt deeply through the love and strength of your grandson — the man I love so dearly. From the stories he shared, it’s clear you were a gentle and kind soul, the kind of person who left a quiet legacy of warmth, resilience, and unconditional love.
You’ve shaped a family that reflects your grace, and I feel truly honored to have witnessed even a small part of the love that surrounds you. Your memory will continue to live on — not just in their hearts, but in every kind word, every act of strength, and every tender moment they carry forward in your name.
Rest peacefully, Janice. Your light shines on 🤍
—With love and prayers

My thoughts and prayers are with Donna Ingram, my sister-in-law and her family. Jan was truly a very giving person, a wonderful Mother, Wife, and Grandmother.
She welcomed my family and me into their home anytime we were in Nashville. She always had plenty of food to feed a hungry bunch. She and Wayne were wonderful hosts to anyone visiting their home.
She will be missed, but she is in her better place now.
Love, Huggs N Prayers

Jan had the most generous spirit. She embraced the role of "mother" in everything she did. "What can I get you?" were always the first words she said whenever you entered her home. She meant much more than just food and conversation. She gave endless amounts of love, support, and laughter. You didn't just share a seat at the table--you held a place in her heart.
Jan, you didn't just offer me and my family a place for gatherings and holidays, you and Wayne gave us a second home. Thank you for 25 years of friendship and love.
I love you, Mom.
