She was preceded in death by her parents- Mr. William Sterling Shipley and Mrs. Hannah Woods Creech, stepfather, Mr. John L. Creech, infant granddaughter, Savannah Royce and son-in-law, Michael Procopio.
Janice is survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Donald G. Royce of Romeoville, Illinois; son, Jay Royce-Procopio (Justin) of Roswell, Georgia. Beloved Granddaughters, Miss Serenity Royce of Ft. Smith, Arkansas, and Mrs. Sunday (JJ) Chapman of Pocola, Oklahoma, Great Granddaughter, Cheyenne Moore, two sisters-in-law and one brother-in-law.
Janice professed faith in Christ in 1987 and we take comfort in the fact that she has been made whole and is now pain free in Heaven and reunited with her loved ones, especially the woman raised her and shaped her life, her grandmother, Mrs. Mary Brooks Shipley.
