I remember that she was a faithful member of Southwest Assembly of God Church in Little Rock. She often brought a granddaughter to church with her. The love of God shone through her.

I’ve never known a finer, dearer, sweeter, caring person than my Aunt Janie. I loved her personality and she was like my second mother. I’ll miss her terribly, but I know she’s no longer in pain. She had suffered too long. I know she and Uncle Jim are celebrating their reunion!

I worked with Janie Stillians many years ago in Texarkana at Grim's Drug store. Would love to share some of the memories with family if you will call me. I don't drive or have a computer so can't attend the service. Please call me at your convenience.
Sorry for your loss,
