Janice Lynn Hardy

Janice Lynn Hardy, aged 76, passed away peacefully on February 5, 2025 at home. She was born on September 2, 1948 in Athens, Texas to her parents James and Francis Andrews. Janice married the love of her life Kirby Tate Hardy Jr. on March 15, 1968, an amazing partnership filled with love, respect and so much support, a marriage the rest of us dream of. Together they built a life centered around family. Kirby and Janice had three boys Chad, Jeremy, and Stephen who she adored profoundly. Her devotion to her family was unmatched, and her presence in their lives was a constant source of love and support. She was a constant beacon of hope and joy to all that knew her, touching lives with her gentle spirit and endless compassion.

Janice is survived by her loving husband Kirby; her son Chad and his wife, Leah, and their two boys Caleb and Austin; her son Jeremy and his wife, Fallon, and their kids Britain, Blayke, Jayte and grandbaby, Bali; her son Stephen and his wife, Kelly, and their kids Grayson and Preslee; her brother James; and many other extended family, as well as a close circle of friends, all whom were touched by her perfect heart. She was also a dedicated pet owner to her little dog Sully who was a loyal companion that will now be keeping her beloved Kirby company.

Janice was a lighthouse of unwavering friendship and kindness. She has left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her. Mawmaw, you will forever be our guardian angel, and we know that you will guide us always from Heaven above. We love you so very much, and we will miss you always.

Isaiah 41:10 “Fear not for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous hand”
