Janie Romans Willis, 70, of Bassett, Virginia, left her earthly home on May 28, 2023 in Martinsville, Virginia. She was born to the late Charles Maiden and Dorothy Berry Romans, in Smyth County, Virginia on July 01, 1952. Janie was a nurse for over 45 years, serving in various departments in hospitals caring for her patients.

She enjoyed her time in homecare because she was able to know her patients on a more personal level and found herself becoming part of their families.
She was married to her loving and devoted husband, Elby Leon Willis, in 1976. They built a life together in Henry County, where they raised their three children and were active in their community until Leon was called to his heavenly home on May 01, 2018.
