Janice Robinson Roberts

Janice Robinson Roberts, age 79, passed away Sunday, January 22, 2023 following an extended illness.

Janice was born in Tennessee to the late Robby Robinson and Elsie Robinson Butler.  In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sisters, Joann Robinson Heaton and Carolyn Robinson Crews; step father, Fred Butler; and grandson, Dustin Roberts.

She loved working with her hands which led her to making porcelain dolls with handmade clothes and her meticulous nature led her into caring for many of the homes in our community.  She will be remembered for her infectious laugh, keen sense of humor, and her fiery spirit.

She is survived by her two children, Renae Roberts Rice and Greg Roberts; two step sisters, Freda Butler Stratton and Lisa Butler Richardson; brother in law, Gayron Crews; and several nieces and nephews.  She is also survived by her loved ones who could do no wrong and adored her as “Gran,” her two granddaughters Megan Balchin (Emmett) and Mia Parham (Kyle); and her three great grandchildren, Georgia Balchin, Eli Balchin, and Kelton Parham.  

The family will receive friends from 1-1:45 PM Tuesday at Hicks Funeral Home.  

A graveside service will take place at 2:00 P.M. Tuesday in Forest Hills Memorial Park with Reverend Gary Purvis officiating.
