Janice Courtney Wilson

Sept. 8, 1959 – Dec. 27, 2022

Janice Courtney Wilson of Stokesdale, 63, passed away in her home on Dec. 27. She was born to Gilbert Rodda and Elizabeth Cooksey Courtney on Sept. 8, 1959, in Washington, D.C. As a child, Janice was fun-loving, vibrant and full of laughter. She loved listening to music – Three Dog Night was her favorite – and roller skating.

Janice played the clarinet and was an active member of the Suitland High School Class of 1977 marching and symphonic band. She was a pompom girl, a member of the drill team, and as a child, was a cheerleader.

In the early 70s, Janice met and fell in love with Randy Wilson, a charismatic, handsome teenager. As the story goes, he blew her a kiss outside a window of English class and she was hooked from that day forward. A move to West Virginia briefly separated them, but his heart would find hers again and they married in January 1978.

Randy was an active member of the U.S. Marine Corps, which led to many of Janice’s travels. She lived in Arizona, Virginia and Maryland before finally digging her roots into North Carolina in December 1993.

Janice and Randy were married 31 years before they divorced, but they still loved each other very much. Randy made regular visits to see Janice and was a constant companion until his passing in February 2022.

Janice is survived by her two daughters, Amber Gene Wilson Redmon (Donnie) of Stokesdale, born in 1979, and Kasey Elizabeth Wilson of Stokesdale, born in 1985. She is also survived by her five grandchildren: Cooper Michael Perry, Brooke Elizabeth Payne, Landyn Elizabeth Payne, Dakota Gene Redmon and Lindsay Gene Redmon, whom she loved dearly and was proud to be their “Meme.” She is also survived by her brother, Martin Courtney of Huntingtown, Maryland.

In addition to her parents, Janice was preceded in death by a sister, Beverly Courtney, and brother, Lance Courtney.

Janice loved being around her grandchildren, and despite having MS, would jump at any chance to have Mexican food! We are thankful for everyone who scooped her and her wheelchair up to make that happen. Her final days were spent listening to her favorite evangelists and spreading her love for Jesus.

Janice was loved by so many and was blessed to have a life full of memories with many dear friends throughout.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Janice’s name to the MS Society, P.O. Box 91891, Washington, DC 20090-1891.
