Janice Jones, a devoted servant of God and cherished member of the South Florida community, passed away peacefully on April 15, 2025, at age 84. Born on July 6, 1940, in Washington, Pennsylvania, Jan's life was defined by compassion, dedication, and a deep love for her faith and community.
Janice began her career as a nurse, relocating to Miami to serve at Mount Sinai Hospital, where her caring nature touched countless lives. Later, she transitioned to the legal field, becoming a valued team member at the Weber Smith law firm, respected for her knowledge and meticulous attention to detail.
A woman of strong faith, Jan found joy and community at Christ Fellowship Church, where she admired the guidance of former pastor Rick Blackwood. She was an enthusiastic participant in Bible Study Fellowship, finding deep meaning in scripture. Her commitment to service extended to the American Legion Auxiliary, where she actively supported its mission.
Known for her warm smile and love for fellowship, Janice will be deeply missed by all who knew her. She is survived by her loving niece, Jane Snyder, of Ohio.
A memorial service to celebrate Jan's life service will be on Saturday April 26th at 10:00 AM at Van Orsdel Funeral Home, Coral Gables Chapel, located at 4600 SW 8th St, Coral Gables, FL 33134. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jan's memory to Christ Fellowship Church, an organization close to her heart.
May she rest in eternal peace.

I lived next to Jan on Brickell Ave and we volunteered together as greeters at CF Gables for several years. She was memorable person for her loving spirit and a bit of a fire cracker underneath. I am heartbroken not to be teased by her anymore. Rest in peace my dear friend.

This is at Rusty Pelican on Key Biscayne with Jan right in the center (as usual) surrounded by friends whose lives she brightened immeasurably.

My wife and I met Jan Jones while attending First Presbyterian in downtown Miami. Jan immediately stood out to us as a person of outstanding character and uncommon grace. Though she was small in stature she was a giant in her devotion to the Lord and service to the body of Christ. We quickly became close personal friends and enjoyed fellowship in each others' homes as well as other social events.

That first meeting with Jan was 26 years ago. Since that time her leadership and Godliness has been a constant encouragement and inspiration. Her love and affection for our family and the circle of friends who became so close long ago has never wavered. I thank God for bringing Jan Jones into our lives and pray that be to others what Jan has been to Maggie & me. May the Lord bless you to be a blessing to others just as this dear lady was to so many around her.
