  The family of Janis Ann Steele Fletcher announces with great sorrow her passing on Sunday, August 7, 2022. Even though there is grieving, there is also great comfort in knowing that Janis is with her Lord and Savior. Janis was born August 11, 1956 in Greenville, Texas, daughter of Lee and Bonnie Walker Steele. She attended Greenville High School, where she was an active member of the Greenville Flaming Flashes Drill Team. After high school, Janis married James David Fletcher on October 8, 1976. Soon after marrying, they settled in Sherman, Texas and had 2 children - daughter, Ashley LeAnne and son, Kane David. Janis worked several years at her in-home daycare, which allowed her time to devote herself to being a loving stay-at-home mother to her young children. She then gave many years of service as a para-professional for Sherman ISD. Most recently Janis served as a Municipal Court Coordinator for the City of Sherman. She was especially passionate about educating and supporting women and their families through the journey of breast cancer diagnosis. In every role of her life, you could count on Janis to be a quiet leader, with a kind smile, a generous spirit, and a servant's heart. Janis enjoyed working in her garden, traveling with her husband, and watching her grandsons play sports. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother and Nana. Janis was preceded in death by her son, Kane David Fletcher; her parents; her father-in-law, James Fletcher; her mother-in-law, Dixie Fletcher; her brother, Kenneth Steele; her brother-in-law, Mike Starkey; and her beloved Uncle Olan and Aunt Margie Steele. Janis left behind her husband; her daughter Ashley and son-in-law, Josh Gurski and their 2 sons, Hartmann and Truman, of Gunter, Texas; brother, Gary Steele and wife, Susy, of Fredericksburg, Texas; sister-in-law, Nancy Starkey of Kilgore, Texas; along with other family members and many friends that will miss her dearly.
