IN LOVING MEMORY

Janice Carol Blackstone

Mar 08 1938 - Mar 20 2022

Janice Carol Blackstone passed away March 20, 2022 in McKinney, Texas at the age of 84. She was born to Jessie Cummings and Estalee (Bates) Smith on March 8, 1938 in Uvalde, Texas. Janice was a third generation Uvaldian. In high school, Janice got acquainted with her husband, Clay of 36 years. Together they had 4 children. After Clay passed away in 1991, Janice got a job managing the Chamber of Commerce in Alamo, Texas. She thoroughly enjoyed her time with the chamber. In 2005, Janice and Bob got in touch after 50 years. They were acquaintances in high school and in 2006 they were married. They went to the First UMC of Allen and rarely missed a service, even watching on the Ipad during times she could not go in person. Janice always kept in touch with her family. In doing so, this kept all her family and extended family close to her even over the physical distance between them. Janice’s family will greatly miss her sense of humor and ability to bring their spirits up when they were feeling low. Most of all, her family will miss her personal touch she put into everything. Her clothes, her birthday cards, her letters and so much more all had a piece of Janice to show.      

She is survived by her husband, William Robert “Bob” Blackstone of Fairview, Texas; son, William Riley “Billy” Blackstone and wife, Charissa of San Tan Valley, Arizona; son, Robert Timothy “Tim” Blackstone and wife, Kelly of Houston, Texas; son, Paul Clay Prickett III and wife, Cindy of Houston, Texas; daughter, Piper Jackson and husband, Herschel of Donna, Texas; daughters, Pam and Paige Prickett of Donna, Texas and a host of other loving family and friends.

Janice is preceded in death by her husband, Paul Clay Prickett II, and parents, Jessie and Estalee Smith, and sister, Betty Smith Sparks.

The family will receive guests from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Wednesday, March 23, 2022 at Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow Funeral Home in Allen, Texas.
