JANICE ANN FLOWERS

Janice Ann Dykes Flowers, age 77, of Lee, Florida, passed away on Wednesday, March 5th, 2025. Born on November 25th, 1947, in Eustis, Florida, Janice was the cherished daughter of the late John Felder Dykes and Gladys Pearl Dykes. She was the sixth of seven children. Her childhood was spent on dairy farms across middle Florida. Janice pursued a career as an LPN, contributing her skills in both clinical and hospital settings for many years. She had a profound passion for cooking, she especially enjoyed sharing her recipes with others. Central to her life were her faith and love for others, with her devotion to serving the Lord bringing her immense joy. Janice was known for openly sharing her faith with gladness and joy. Together with her husband, Retis C. Flowers, the couple faithfully served the congregation of Midway Church of God for over 52 years as Pastor and Pastor’s wife. Janice will be remembered for her unwavering dedication to her faith and her deep affection for her family. We find peace in knowing that she now rests in the embrace of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Janice is survived by her loving husband of nearly 57 years, Retis C. Flowers; daughters, Edna Doyle (Amon) of Lee, Florida, Regina Forrest (Brad) of Franklinville, NC, and Rita Rankhorn (Ken) of Live Oak, Florida; grandchildren, Lindsey English, Amanda Grant (Justin), AJ Doyle (Aubren); and great-grandchildren Lane, Brenlee, Jolene, Isaac, and Adaline Janice due in August, all of Lee, Florida.
