May 30, 1957 - June 5, 2020
*Obituary
Roller Funeral Home
Harrison, Arkansas
Janet S. Canady, age 63, of Harrison, went home to be with her beloved Savior on Friday, June 5, 2020, at home. She was born May 30, 1957, in Harrison, to Gene and Loretta (Youngblood) Jones.
Janet was a proud lifelong resident of the beautiful Ozark Mountains. She grew up and attended school in the Compton and Harrison area. Her most favorite memories were spending time with her precious grandparents, Earnest Bryant and Ollie Neighbors.
She was preceded in death by her mother, an infant son, her Grandpa Earnest, and Grandma Ollie.
Janet met the love of her life, Jerry Allen Canady, and they were wed on August 25, 1973. Janet and Jerry were very active in the youth sports community including baseball, soccer, taekwondo, and football. She enjoyed traveling, cheering on the kids, and making many lifelong friends along the way. She was called Mom by many. Janet had always been proud to raise her sons in the Ozarks and in Ozark Baptist Church where they were grounded in the traditional family values and the Word of God. She said one of her greatest accomplishments was raising her sons who served in the military and most of all served the Lord.
Her heart was devoted to worshiping with her church family and her ministry and was loving and encouraging others. She served in every way possible at the church and was known for her wonderful cooking. She never missed an opportunity to stand up and praise the Lord. For over 30 years, she loved teaching children the word of God and leading them to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Janet was a talented artisan with flowers as she enjoyed floral design for many years at Caspian Flower Shop. She also became a cake designer and brought so much joy to special occasions for so many. All that knew her loved her!
You never saw her without a smile and she was like family to everyone she knew. If she were here today, she would say 'Please don't cry but rejoice and please come to Jesus and come see me again in Heaven.'
Survivors include her husband, Jerry Canady, of the home; her father, Gene and Tammy Jones; three sons and daughters-in-law, Allen and Candyce Canady of Harrison, Jason and Sabrina Canady of Bergman, and Seth and Chelsea Canady of Jonesboro; nine grandchildren: Alexis, Aubrey, Sadie, Kenah, Ethan, JoHannah, Malorie, Gene, and Jessie; her brothers, Dwayne Bryant, Mitchell Gahlbeck, and Nick Gahlbeck; and a host of nieces, nephews and other family members and friends.
Funeral service was 3:00 pm, Wednesday, June 10, 2020, at Ozark Baptist Church. Visitation was 5-7:00 pm Tuesday, June 9, 2020, at the church. Interment was in Low Gap Cemetery.
Pallbearers were Josh Smith, Jaden King, Shannon McAfee, William Barton, Caleb Mathis, and Allen Chambers.
