Janice Lane McCabe “Jan”, age 71, of Snellville, GA, passed away on December 28th 2021. She was preceded in death by her parents William and Betty Lane and husband Roy Edward McCabe Jr. “Ed”.

Jan was a native of Savannah GA and was a graduate of Jenkins High School. She married her husband Ed June 20th, 1970 at St. James Catholic Church in Savannah GA. Once they married, they moved to various locations but ended up in the Atlanta metro area where they remained and raised their two daughters. Jan worked for the Gwinnett County Public School System serving as a Special Education paraprofessional before her retirement in 2005.
The greatest joy in her life after the passing of her husband Ed was her three grandsons. She supported them in numerous ways, and always enjoyed watching them participate in their activities. She passed away after a battle with cancer over the past two years. There will be a graveside service in Savannah GA, at Bonaventure/Greenwich Cemetery in early spring.

Our hearts are saddened with Jan’s passing. She was a lovely lady who I’m honored to have call her friend. Please know you & your family are in our thoughts & prayers.
Erin and Leigh, Corliss and my hearts ache for you and your families. Our only consolation is knowing that your mother has been reunited with your father and is now in God’s comforting arms. We couldn’t see each other as often as we wanted to during her illness because of this damn virus, but she was constantly in our prayers. We feel blessed to call her our friend and will miss her larger than life laugh. I’m sure your father greeted her with open arms and a schedule.
I had the honor of working with your mom and dad with Brookwood Band. Every time I think about the activities with the band, they all include your parents. Jan and I would meet the opposing band at the elementary school and bring them to the stadium. We shared many laughs. I always enjoyed the time spent with them. Jan is now with Ed and keeping you in their hearts.
Erin and Leigh,
Jim and I are so sad about your mother’s death. She was a wonderful, happy and caring person. We rejoice in knowing that she is with your dad and that she is no longer having to struggle with her illness. Please let us know what we can do to help you. Love on your sweet husbands and dear children. We love you all.
Erin and Leigh, I thought the world of your father and mother. I am so sorry for your loss. I know you have wonderful memories spanning many years. Jan is now at peace and is with Ed.
