It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Janis Phulps, a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and a beacon of creativity and love. Janis peacefully departed this world on December 17, 2024, in Sacramento, California.
Born on June 16, 1932, in Maysville, Oklahoma, Janis was one of seven siblings—six girls and one boy. She is survived by her brother, Jerry, who will fondly remember their lifelong bond.
Janis had an immense passion for the arts. She loved drawing and sketching, and she expressed herself beautifully through her poems and songs. Her writings were especially treasured by her six grandchildren, who were the frequent recipients of her heartfelt creations. Her love extended to her eight great-grandchildren, who brought her immeasurable joy and inspiration.
Janis was preceded in death by her cherished husband Louis, two beloved daughters, Debbie and Donna, and her parents Simone and Bertha and grandson, Glenn.
