Janis Wells

Janis Lucille Rhea Wells entered eternal rest with her Heavenly Father on May 30, 2026,
surrounded by the love of her family.
Janis was quiet, but mighty. She possessed a gentle strength that carried her through life’s joys and challenges with grace and determination. Though she never sought the spotlight, her love and devotion to her family spoke louder than words ever could.
She found joy in the simple things that made life beautiful. Janis loved sewing and creating with her hands, often pouring love into every stitch. She adored the color purple, cherished hummingbirds, and kept rosaries tucked away in every nook and cranny of her home—a reflection of the faith that sustained her throughout her life.
Janis leaves behind her beloved husband of 52 years, James Wayne Wells; her daughters, Rachel McNett (Vince), Cynthia Ruff (Chris), Jamie Rees (Aaron), and Hailey Wells; and her favorite daughter, Rosie Marie Wells, the fierce and faithful Yorkie who never left her side. She was a devoted grandmother to Sydney Reagan (Dalton), Ethan Rees (Kortnee), Lane Wells (Raegan), Rylee McNett (Jeff), Janna Ruff (Trace), Seth Rees, Bella McNett, Cole Ruff, Joseph Wells, and Lynlee Ruff. She was also blessed with one treasured great-grandchild, Charlie, who brought immeasurable joy and was a beautiful point of light during her final months.
Janis’s legacy is one of quiet faith, steadfast love, resilience, and devotion to family. Her presence was a comfort, her love unwavering, and her strength immeasurable.
The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to Desiree and the staff of Hospice Home Care for the compassion, kindness, and exceptional care shown to Janis during her final days. Their support brought comfort and dignity to both Janis and her family, and their kindness will forever be remembered and appreciated.
“Well done, good and faithful servant. “— Matthew 25:23
