Janice Johnson Gurr

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Janice Johnson Gurr, who left us peacefully on February 20, 2026, at the age of 79. Born on December 25, 1946, in Perry, Florida, Janice was a beloved mother, cherished friend, and wonderful homemaker who filled her life with love and laughter.

Janice enjoyed the simple pleasures in life- like fishing, shuffling cards for a lively game night, playing bingo, and traveling. But nothing brought her more joy than spending quality time with her family, especially her grandchildren.

Janice was preceded in death by: her husband, Joseph Gurr, a son, Johnny Ray Gurr, and a sister, Kay "Doll" Williams, and her parents, Olan Clark and Norma Jean Lynch.

She is survived by: a son, Michael "Mickey" Gurr, her daughter, Shelby Gurr Gibson, and husband Guy, all of Perry; a brother, Billy "Deadeye" Clark; 3 grandchildren, Nicole Gibson Ernst, and Husband Billy Wayne, Guy W. Gibson II, and wife Abbi, and Ty W. Gibson; 4 great-grandchildren, Georgia, Tripp, Haylen, and Ada Shelby; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

A funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 in the Burns Funeral Home Memorial Chapel of Perry, with Bro. Ben Kimmell officiating. Interment will follow in Spring Warrior Church of Christ Cemetery. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. All arrangements are under the care of Burns Funeral Home of Perry.
