Janet Ann James

  Janet Ann James "MeeMaw" James, 53, entered into the Presence of God on Wednesday, July 2, 2008.

  Born February 7, 1955, in Denver, Colorado, she was the youngest daughter of James and Donice Sutterfield, and resided in Texas since December 25, 1965.

  Janet lived life well. She lived it her way and without apology. She took in strays of every kind, whether it was kids who needed shelter or animals no one wanted. She never stood for abuse of any kind against man or beast. Janet was not only a sibling or a mother, she was a best friend too. She will be missed by everyone she touched.

  Left to cherish her: daughter, Jessica James and beloved granddaughters, Kirstin Sutterfield and Zoie Madeline James; brother, Jim Sutterfield (Betty); sisters, Cathi Thomas (Glen) and Mary Hendrix (Charles); nieces and nephews: James, Michael, Chris and Matt Wilson; Todd Jones, Dorothy Clarebaut; Tesa and FayAnne Price; and a host of great nieces, nephews and adopted family.

Graveside Service: 9:00 a.m., Monday, at Poe Prairie Cemetery.
Visitation: 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Sunday, at the funeral home.
