Janice Earles Lindsey
September 19, 1933 — September 22, 2014
Janice D. Earles Lindsey, a resident of Harrisburg, PA, transitioned into eternal life as a result of an auto accident on September 22, 2014, in Inova Fairfax Hospital, Falls Church, VA.
Janice was born on September 19, 1933, in Riner, VA, in the home that is now known as Brush Creek Buffalo Farm. Preceded in death by her mother, Nellie Bower Earles Kelley; step-father, Joe Kelley; father, Marvin Earles; step-mother, Evelyn Earles; infant brother, Rudolph Earles; step-brother, Billie Kelley; and great-grandson, Jeremiah Lindsey. She was also preceded in death by ex-husband, Herbert Lindsey; and her loving companion in later years, Ray Sherman. Both men were from Harrisburg, PA.
She and her mother relocated to Harrisburg, PA, in the mid-forties where she attended Susquehanna Township Schools grading in 1952. She raised her family in Harrisburg and spent about 15 years in Florida before relocating to Harrisburg several years ago.
She is survived by four daughters, Cathy Riordan (Patrick), Jan Politis (Jim), Becky Christie (Bob), and Nanette Soliday (Doug). She leaves behind 10 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and her very special friend, Ward Jacobs, who treated her like a “queen” these last months.
How to sum up 81 years of life? She was loving and kind. She had a sixth sense about her children and many life events. She would often call just when problems were happening in her children’s lives. She collected angels in her later years and loved to read about the miracles often attributed to their intercession. The hospital staff that took care of her in her last days left her room with smiles on their faces and said how much they loved taking care of her. They told us she was just so “sweet” and always were glad to assist her. She will be missed terribly by her children and grandchildren.
The family will receive friends on Saturday, September 27, 2014, from 1-2 p.m. at Auburn United Methodist Church, 3940 Five Points Road, Riner, VA. The funeral service will commence at 2 p.m. with Rev. Scott Wilks and Rev. Nancy Whitley officiating. Interment will follow in St. Matthews Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Riner Rescue Squad, P O Box 858, Riner, VA 24149.
