Janice Cleo Morris

Mrs. Janice Cleo Morris, age 68, of Hazlehurst, passed away Friday, August 22, 2025, at Coffee Regional Medical Center in Douglas.

Mrs. Morris was born September 16, 1956, in Jeff Davis County to the late Rev. J.W. Morris and Mrs. Linnie Ree Stapleton Morris.  

Other than her parents, she is preceded in death by a sister, Linnell Morris Braddock.

Janice loved life and lived it to the fullest. She was well known for her love of travel, she loved to visit the Beach, loved to read and was a great cook. She loved family and enjoyed big family gatherings (bigger the better), because she enjoyed showing off her Macaroni and Cheese and lemon lush, which she was famous for. But being a special GRAMMY was her main job, and very important to her, and she played that part very well. She was a member of Heritage Baptist Church and will be sadly missed by all.

Other members of her family include her husband, John Carl Morris of Hazlehurst;  her son and daughter-in-law, Justin and Jennifer Morris of Oregon; daughter, Jennifer Corrie Morris of Hazlehurst; two sisters, Sue (Ben) Duckett of Hazlehurst and Luler Mae (Greg) Nash of Kentucky; three brothers, A.J. (Janis) Morris of North Carolina, Bill Morris of Hazlehurst and John Earl (Karen) Morris of Baxley; three grandchildren, Skyler Morris, Ethan Morris and Silas Morris; several nieces and nephews also survive.

Funeral Services will be held Monday, August 25, 2025, at 11:00am in the Chapel of Wainright-Parlor Funeral Home with Rev. Ronald Wilcox officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.

Interment will follow in Palms Memorial Garden.

All family and friends will serve as Honorary pallbearers.

Robert Gay, Caleb Belflower, Josh Peacock, Ethan Upshaw, John Hampton and Evin Bisher will serve as active pallbearers.
