Janice Sue Jackson Daniels

Janice Sue Jackson Daniels, age 76, passed from this Earth on Friday, February 27, 2026, at Helen Keller Hospital. Janice, most affectionately known as Mawmaw Janice Sue, was born on December 01, 1949, to William & Dorothy Jackson. She was a 1968 graduate of Russellville, High School, graduated Northwest Shoals Community College in 2004, worked for over 20 years at HD Lee’s, and was a lifelong member of North Highlands Church of Christ. She was a devoted wife and mother, who took such pride in her children and everything they accomplished; a doting grandmother and great-grandmother, who never missed a ballgame, awards day, or special event; and a dear friend to all. Janice will always be remembered for her love for her family and always being a constant in their lives. She was never happier than she was spending time with her family, eating together, enjoying fellowship and conversations with others. She loved birthdays, always making sure to fix the favorite meal and birthday cake for the birthday person. She always made sure to have plenty of ice cream in the freezer whenever her grandchildren were there. She had a wonderful talent for playing the piano and her family loved hearing her play the Spinning Song. Time was always important to Mawmaw Janice Sue. She had a dry sarcastic sense of humor that came from a deep loving heart. She was very athletic in her younger days, from playing tennis, dodge ball with the grandkids, or just playing cards and games. Mawmaw Janice Sue never sat still and loved to work outside in her flowers. She also enjoyed taking time to read and watch Price is Right. She enjoyed spending time with her friends, affectionately known as the YA-YA girls. She will be missed tremendously by all those who knew and loved her. Janice leaves to cherish her life, her loving husband of 43 years, Charlie Daniels; children, Stephanie Gandy (Stevie), Jeffery Smith (Katye); step-children, Patrick Daniels (Carrie), Lara Hall (Jamie); grandchildren, Lauren Hellums (Byron), Jackson Smith, Ryleigh Mae Smith, step-grandchildren Danny Hall (Alexis), Lee Hall, Paige Daniels, Kaci Timmons (Lee); great-grandchildren, Sloan Hellums, Phoebe Hall, Karlie Kalmbach, Delaney Timmons; sister-in-law, Jackie Daniels; niece, Julie Moore (Terry); and a host of friends.
