Janice Mae Palmer Vazquez of Logansport, Louisiana, passed away Wednesday, March 16, 2022 surrounded by loved ones. Janice was born January 17, 1952 to parents Chester Clarence Palmer and Mary Josephine Wimberly Palmer in Logansport, Louisiana. She graduated from Logansport High School in 1970 and Panola College in 1972. She was known by some as Janice, to others as Mama, Grandmama, Aunt Janice, and affectionately called Janice Mae. She was well known for her love of people. Her love for people caused her to unselfishly go out of her way to assist others. She put the needs and concerns of others above her own and was always willing to help. She will be remembered for her quick wit, beautiful smile, bright blue eyes, and contagious giggle. Even as she faced death, her children were comforted by her determination and humor. They will always recall with fondness how they enjoyed her last giggle. Janice truly loved others. As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, she found great comfort in the Bible's message of hope and she enjoyed sharing these Bible truths with others. One of her biggest joys were the pride of her life, her children and grandchildren. Janice will be dearly missed by all who loved her. Janice is survived by her son, Robert Vazquez, and daughter-in-law, Ann Marie Vazquez; by her daughter, Grace Hardesty, and son-in-law, Aaron Hardesty; and by her daughter, Evelia Vazquez. Janice is also survived by two grandsons, Luke Vazquez and Levi Vazquez. In addition there are many nieces, nephews, and other relatives, all whom she dearly loved, as well as a host of friends. She is preceded in death by her parents, her brother, Joe Douglas Palmer, and her sisters, Benita Barbara Cliff, Kitty Maryann Matheny, and Cheryl Darlene Palmer.
