Janice Elaine Brown, age 83, of Naples, Florida, passed away peacefully on September 16, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Born on April 18, 1942, in Atlanta, Georgia, Janice was the daughter of the late Harold and Virginia (Fraley) Sprayberry. She grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida where she met the love of her life, Robert Vernon Brown, Jr. ("Vernon"). The two shared over 60 wonderful years of marriage before his passing in 2022. Janice and Vernon retired to Naples from Atlanta in 2003, where they quickly became active members of their Stonebridge Country Club community. Janice was a devoted member of North Naples United Methodist Church, where she found great joy in attending Bible study and worship. She was also a proud member of her local book club. Janice treasured her family and the friendships she made in the Stonebridge community. Janice radiated warmth, kindness, and genuine interest in others. She especially looked forward to the college football season each year and loved cheering on the Florida State Seminoles and the Georgia Bulldogs with family and friends. Janice was happiest when she was surrounded by her family. She is survived by her daughter, Shannon Huber, and her husband, Paul, of Naples; her son, Robert Vernon Brown III, and his wife, Lisa, of Atlanta, GA; and her adored grandchildren: Ben Huber and his wife Kailee, Sam Huber, Justin Brown, Jake Brown, Josh Brown, and Lauren Brown. She also leaves behind two cherished great-granddaughters, Kinslee Huber and Holland Huber. In addition to her husband, Janice was preceded in death by her brother, Robert Sprayberry. A funeral service to celebrate Janice's life will be held on October 2, 2025, at 11 AM at the North Naples United Methodist Church, 6000 Goodlette Rd. N., Naples, FL 34109. She will be laid to rest with her husband at Palm Royale Cemetery, 6790 Vanderbilt Beach Rd., Naples, FL 34119.
