Janice Marie Carter was born in Baltimore, Maryland, where she grew up and attended school, graduating from Edmondson High School.  On April 25, 1969 she married Ernest Stewart in Baltimore.  Following their marriage, they lived in Baltimore for a few years where she worked for the telephone company.  In 1974 they relocated to Coleman, Texas, where Janice went to work at the Coleman County Courthouse.  She later worked in the City Hall, the Coleman ISD Superintendent’s Office, and for the Department of Human Services.  She attended the New Testament Holiness Church in Bangs.  She participated in Cub Scouts, 4-H Club, Band Boosters and other school related organizations.  In the last few years she had become interested in painting and was a member of the Brownwood Art Association.  She particularly liked painting with water colors.  The thing that Janice loved most was being with her family and, of course, shopping, clothes, shoes and food.   Janice was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother and will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
