Janell Kay Erb

Janell Kay Erb of Port Orange, Florida, passed away June 26, 2026. She was born in Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, on July 22, 1957. Janell graduated from Seventy-First High School in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and received an Associate Degree in Cosmetology from Daytona State College.

She was preceded in death by her parents Bennie and Edna Shiflett and her brothers Johnny and David of Fayetteville, North Carolina.

She is survived by her sister “Sissy” Linda Stewart, her nieces Heather Dean (Alan) and Hillary Stewart and her great-niece Harper Dean.

Janell had a generous heart and was devoted to her family and amazing friends. She never met a stranger and connected to people easily. She never forgot a birthday and was an excellent gift giver. She loved rock ‘n’ roll music, and a concert was her favorite place to be. Janell was a quintessential Florida beach girl and loved the sand, surf, and sun. She was an avid dog lover, and we know she is playing with her dogs who have crossed over the rainbow bridge, Otis, Chloe, Cece, Ruby, Raoul, and Rocky. Her generous and fun-loving spirit will be missed by all who knew her.

Her celebration of life will be forthcoming.
