Janice Dawson Howell, age 68, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 30th 2019, after a battle with pancreatic cancer. She was born March 24, 1951 in Camilla, Georgia to Earl and Florene Dawson. She grew up in Albany, Georgia, and graduated from Albany High School in 1969. She married Mark Howell on June 3, 1969, in Donaldsonville, Georgia. They went on to spend 50 years together to celebrate their Golden Anniversary shortly before her passing.
Janice is survived by her husband, Mark Howell, and their two children, Kay Cave (spouse Todd Cave) and Michael Howell (spouse Marci Howell). She is also survived by her sisters Jean Fisher (spouse Lamar) and Pam Woolard (spouse John), along with 5 grandchildren: Kassidy Cave, Taylor Cave, Chance Cave, Madison Howell and Nathan Howell.
Janice was happiest surrounded by her family and her many friends. She was a proud grandmother, who dedicated much of her time to making sure everyone else around her was taken care of. She never put herself first, always worried that someone else around her would be in need of something. She was a devout Christian who was never afraid to voice her beliefs. Janice was a great example to those who knew her in every way.
