Janice Doss Obituary
On Sunday, July 11, 2021, Janice Reynolds Doss, 84, of Dry Fork, Va. went home to be with the Lord and be reunited with her husband of 53.5 years, William Garfield Doss Sr., after a 26-month battle with cancer. Mrs. Doss was born in Callands, Va., to the late Robert Edwin and Nannie Kendrick Reynolds. Janice and Garfield resided in Danville for 47 years, before moving to Dry Fork in 2003.
She is survived by three children, William G. Doss Jr., (Kimberly), Scarlett Doss Murray, and Tommy J. Doss (Cheryl) as well as six grandchildren, Lauren and Matt Doss, Katelyn Murray, and Sarah, Taylor, and Sophia Janice Doss and one special little dog, Molly.
Also surviving are two brothers, Wesley Reynolds (Sandra) and Jackie Reynolds (Deloris) and two sisters, Betty McDaniel (Marvin) and Joyce Mahan (Blair). Two brothers, Danny Gail Reynolds and Robert Terry Reynolds predeceased her. She leaves two aunts, Claire Reynolds and Louise Hankins, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
After marrying Garfield, his family became like her own and surviving are James Milton Doss (Shirley) and Everlena Doss Bowling (Earl and Scott) and one aunt, Ruth Walker and many of Garfield's cousins.
Janice retired from the Danville City Employees FCU after 26 years of service and continued to work part time for seven more years. Her home and family were always the center of her life. She enjoyed traveling, crafts, gardening, cooking, canning, decorating and anything connected with family life. She was a member of the County Line Christian Church since age 12.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, July 14, 2021 at 2 p.m. at County Line Christian Church with Minister Dean Ashby officiating and prayer by Wesley Reynolds. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends from 12:45 until 1:45 p.m. prior to the service, and at other times they will be at the residence.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to the Danville Pittsylvania County Cancer Association or the Pittsylvania County Animal Shelter.

Janice was always doing something for somebody. She watched after me on the bus and got me to my classroom on my first day of school. She was always bringing or sending things to my Mother (now 98) until very recently. She was very supportive of my wife, Kathy, who has also been dealing with cancer. Janice was truly a fine and wonderful lady. Our prayers are with the family at this time. God Bless!!

So thankful for the life we shared for 84 years. Born in the middle of the Great Depression, ours was a hard life, for our parents. But for us, it was a good life with many fond memories. I bid her farewell until we meet again in our Heavenly home that our Father has promised us and has been paid for by our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. RIP Janice, until we meet again. Wesley Reynolds.
