Janet Spann Obituary

Visit the West Harpeth Funeral Home & Crematory - Nashville website to view the full obituary.

Janet Spann will be remembered for her willingness to serve, quick wit, infectious smile and laughter, and unabashed love for dogs. The quintessential grandmother, Janet Spann loved making dinner to share it with her family and any friends that needed an invitation. She loved music, traveling, shopping and reading a good book. She was proud to be a native Texan but loved the 60 years in Nashville.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 70 years on July 2nd, 2025. They are now dancing “Round the Clock” on those streets of gold. She loved the Lord Jesus and was a faithful member of Stephen Valley Church.

She will be missed by her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and more friends than you can count.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in August or possibly September. Please check back for the updated service information.

At the request of the family, donations can be made in Jim’s honor to Stephens Valley Church, 6000 Pasquo Road, Nashville, TN 37221.
