Janice Tribble, 82, passed away Thursday morning, September 12, 2024 after a battle with cancer. She died peacefully in her sleep with her family at her side. Miss Janice, as many people knew her, was born on November 11, 1941 in Campton, Georgia but grew up in the Winder area. Her parents, Melvin and Ruth Glass and her sister Laverne Rooks are waiting for her in heaven. She married Harold Tribble on December 21, 1962 and they lived their entire lives and raised a family in Loganville. Janice and Harold are survived by their son, Grant Tribble (wife Rachel), daughter Toni Jarrett (husband Heath), sister Opal Hardgrove (husband Ben) and beloved grandchildren and great grandchild.
Miss Janice spent her entire life as a devoted Christian and kept her faith until the end. She spent her life in service with a special ability to prove to children, all children, that they are special and deserve love. She was the class mom, the teacher, the coach, the baton mom, and the avid sports fan. While she loved the Braves, the Falcons, the Yellow Jackets and the Bulldogs, she picked her favorite teams based on the player. Her favorites were Drew Brees, then Aaron Rogers and now Patrick Mahomes – because they were “cracker jack ball players and seemed like very nice young men”. She believed in hard work, responsibility and working to make sure her family was supported and loved. She was a charter member of the Chamber of Commerce and secretary of the Historical Society of Loganville. She also supported her community as a successful business owner, a City Council member, a champion for the City of Loganville and the police / fire departments and a long-time coordinator and volunteer for the second love of her life, the Walton County Special Olympics.
Miss Janice will be missed because of her hard work and dedication to her family and the community she loved so dearly. She will also be missed because she never missed an opportunity to tell you how much she loved you. She gave the best hugs and if that did not work, she would cook the best chicken and dumplings and Thanksgiving dressing in the world. She had an amazing smile, a brilliant laugh and bright blue eyes that would shine as bright as stars when she was happy.
Miss Janice will be honored on Sunday, September 15, 2024 with a visitation from 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM and a brief service following at 2:30 PM with Pastor Steven Morse and Minister Don Hardison officiating. The visitation and services will be held at Tim Stewart Funeral Home in Loganville.
