Janice was born on March 29, 1939, in Glennville, Georgia, to the late Otis and Gladys Harrell. A woman of deep faith, Janice lived her life by exemplifying the fruits of the spirit. Janice’s late husband, Dr. Cason, served as a pastor for over 68 years, serving locally at First Free Will Baptist Church in Morehead City for 20 of those years. She had a remarkable musical talent, sharing her gift by playing the piano and organ at church. Janice was actively involved in the Women Nationally Active for Christ, where she contributed to the women’s ministry.

In her professional life, Janice enjoyed her career as a schoolteacher where she inspired countless young minds with her love of learning. Her commitment to education extended to her role at church, where she also enjoyed teaching Sunday School.

Janice loved Precious Moment figurines and always enjoyed adding to her beautiful collection. She also had a particular fondness for lighthouses, and her collection reflected this love. In her free time, she enjoyed doing puzzles, always ready for a new challenge.

Those remaining to cherish her memory are her sons, Rick Cason and wife Debbie of Glennville, GA and Reuben Cason and wife Terry of Bailey, NC; sister-in-law, Patsy Harrell of Glennville, GA; 4 grandchildren, Amanda Johnson (Luke), Blake Cason (Whitney), Heather Huff (Jonathan), and Daniel Cason (Camille); 12 great grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
