Janet F. Owen

Janet F. Owen, 79, passed away on June 9, 2026. Born January 17, 1947, Janet will be remembered as a cherished and devoted presence in the lives of those who knew and loved her. A faithful Christian woman, she loved the Lord and sought to reflect that faith through a kind-hearted spirit, steady care for others, and a warmth that could be felt in both quiet moments and shared laughter. Though written with respect, any remembrance of Janet would be incomplete without noting the gentle humor that so often brightened her days and the days of those around her.

For many years, Janet worked for Wells Fargo, serving with dedication and reliability. Her commitment in all she did at work, at home, and in her relationships spoke to a life marked by devotion and enduring love.

Janet also found joy and peace in gardening, a simple and meaningful pastime that reflected her patient nature and her appreciation for life’s steady, growing seasons.

Janet was preceded in death by parents, Evelyn Ellenburg and Ernest Richardson Floyd; her husband, Lawrence “Skip” Owen; her son, Chris Owen; her brother-in-laws, Jimmy Owen and Billy Owen; and her sister-in-law, Becky.

She is survived by her brother, Ernie Floyd (Audrey); her nephew, Ken Floyd (Stevie); her niece, Ellise Sherman (Jim); nephews, Bob, Phillip, Glenn, and Jamie Boris; her brother in law, Rick Owen (Sandy); and her brother in law, Dennis Owen.

The family extends special thanks to Elaine Jeko of Bishopville for her excellent and compassionate care, and to Suzanne Rapp with Amedisys Hospice for her tender care. Their kindness and support are gratefully acknowledged and will be long remembered.

A graveside service will be held 11:00 am Friday, June 12, 2026 at Bush River Memorial Gardens in Columbia. The family will receive friends from 5:00pm to 7:00pm Thursday, June 11, 2026, at Caughman Harman Funeral Home, Chapin Chapel.
