November 30, 1936 - November 10, 2020
Today the journey has ended, and I knock at Heaven’s gate. Behind is strife, troubles, sorrows and beyond is the morning of a new day. As the gate swings wide, I see lost friends with laughter coming to give a glad welcome to me for a new beginning of life.
Janice Ratliff Wood,84, died November 10, 2020 at Pikeville Nursing and Rehab. She was born November 30, 1936 to Mamie Clark and Wilson Ratliff at Mayflower, KY (Johns Creek). Janice grew up on Johns Creek and graduated from Johns Creek High School in 1955.
Her ebullient personality and ability to adapt and work successfully with co-workers helped her in various jobs. Janice was trained to be a telephone switchboard operator for several years at South Central Bell, and worked at the Methodist Hospital, and Miner’s Hospital. Her love of flowers and floral arrangements led to work as a floral designer for 15 years (Helen’s Flower, Betsy Layne Floral). She also owned and operated Jan’s Restaurant for over 10 years. Janice participated in activities with the Daughters of the American Revolution until her physical disabilities progressed. Janice will be remembered as a loving friend and supporter by co-workers and many others, always a friend to everyone.
Janice loved the staff, caregivers and fellow residents at Pikeville Nursing and Rehab during the three years, since 2017, and was extremely grateful for the attention and care extended to her.
Janice was a lifetime member of the Church of Christ, Johns Creek, mouth of Joes Creek. She is survived by her brother, Roger Ratliff, her daughter, Sheila Wood Mullins (Tony O’Neil), grandchildren, Tiffani Ballard (Michael), Tasha Justice (Jason), Tony Mullins (Brandy), and six great-grandchildren, Chandler, Clark, Jayden, Jameson, Abigayle and Zane.
Funeral services will be held privately at the family cemetery, Pinson/Clark Cemetery, mouth of Joes Creek, with pasture Randall Parsons officiating. Pallbearers are Roger Ratliff, Neal Mullins, Tony Mullins, Michael Ballard, Jason Justice, Chandler Ballard and Jayden Justice.
