Mary Frances Janes, "Our Mother's work on earth was done early January 8 when she closed her eyes and was carried tenderly home in the loving arms of Jesus. Heaven's gates surely opened wide and the angel choir assembled as this saintly woman of God let go of her earthly life and entered the Holy City with angel band gloriously singing." She was born on November 14, 1931 in Big Renox, (Burkesville) Kentucky and resided most of her life in Lapel.

She retired from St. John's Medical Center as a housekeeper and loved gardening, quilting, crocheting and playing bingo.

She was a member of Columbus Avenue Church of Christ. The family wishes to thank the staff at Saint Vincent Anderson Regional Hospital, Dr. Mares and Dr. Molina for their excellent care.
