On Saturday, July 11, 2020, Janice Davidson, loving wife and mother of 3 children, passed away peacefully at her home in Foley, Alabama at the age of 72. Janice was born on July 16, 1947 in Kansas City, MO to Hershel and Patricia (Bennett) Russell.

Janice and Donald retired to Anderson, SC where they lived and enjoyed lake life for 23 years. For many years, Janice and Donald spent the winter months in Foley, AL. Their love for the ocean brought them to build a home and permanently reside in Foley, AL in September 2019. Janice lived life to the fullest and sought out ways to be involved in the communities in which she lived. She was an active member of Newtonville United Methodist Church and Trinity United Methodist Church, enjoyed reading, knitting, quilting, spent vacations camping with her family, volunteered in the gift shop at AnMed Medical Center, traveled overseas with Donald, and loved the beach.
