Janice was very close to her immediate family. She always lit up whenever they came over to her house. She was also known for her wise words of advice and counsel. She kept their bellies full with her extensive repertoire of recipes, including her signature pound cake and chocolate and marshmallow brownies. Janice also loved her many cousins and their descendants. She was eager to attend every wedding and reunion among the large group of relatives. She later used social media to keep up with new family members.
She enjoyed spending time with her schoolmates, teacher, and friends from Western Auto.
She was a member of Briarwood Presbyterian Church and cared for her church family, especially her Sunday school class and friends. She also had a special place in her heart for her previous church family, Knollwood Presbyterian, in Sylacauga. Janice was a first-grade teacher at Rosemont Elementary in LaGrange, GA, BB Comer in Sylacauga, Goodwater Elementary, Goodwater Academy, and Coosa Valley Academy.
Janice is survived by her daughter, Jana Hamil Green; her son, Jim Corley Hamil; her grandson, Jonathan David Green Jr.; and her granddaughter, Julie Anne Green. She was preceded in death by her husband, James Emory Hamil, and her parents, Elton and Ann Corley.
