Janet Carol Ellis – of Knoxville, October 24, 1961-July 28, 2019. Janet passed away peacefully at home on Sunday morning, July 28, 2019, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was a member of Block Springs Baptist Church. Janet was fortunate to grow up in the little country town of Blaine, TN. She had many friends from there that she remained close to for many years.

Preceded in death by mother, Mary Jane Kitts Ellis; grandparents, Herman and Zena Kitts; and chosen brother, Todd Hargis. Survived by aunt and caregiver, Maxine Hargis; chosen brothers, Mark Hargis and wife Cheryl, Richard Maples; chosen sister, Brenda Combs; as well as many special cousins around the country. A very special thanks to Brenda for her undying love and support for Janet throughout this journey. The family will receive friends 5:00-7:00 PM Wednesday, July 31, 2019, at Bridges Funeral Home.
