Janice Lee Williams Marshall

January 25, 1948 - July 24, 2015

Janice Williams Marshall, 67, passed away peacefully at home, Friday, July 24, 2015. She was born Jan. 25, 1948 to the late Squire and Doris Williams. Janice possessed a strong sense of service to the community. As a teen, she achieved senior status as a Girl Scout. Her ability to help others continued by serving as Deacon at Beaumont Presbyterian Church in Lexington. She became Court Administrator in Franklin Circuit Court, then served as Circuit Court Clerk for 18 years. As the court clerk, Janice was a board member of Trust for Life, an organ donor program. She served as president of the Kentucky Circuit Court Clerks, where she was instrumental in bringing deputy clerks' salaries to a better level. Janice was creative and spent time renovating and decorating homes and sewing. One of her favorite places to relax was near the water, at the beach and the lake. Family was paramount to Janice. As the oldest of four children, she lived as a positive role model to her siblings. For many years, her home has been the gathering place for family get-togethers. One of Janice's greatest joys came from being involved with her children, grandchildren, and all of her nieces and nephews, attending events and being an active part of their lives. She is survived by her husband, Les Marshall, Frankfort; daughter, Kathryn “Kem” Marshall, Frankfort; son, David “Mac” Marshall (Sarah), Downers Grove, Ill.; two sisters, Laura Majnich (Jerry), Roanoke Va. and Kathryn Williams, Louisville; a brother, Squire Williams III (Julie), Frankfort; her four grandchildren, Ellie Adcock and David, Charlie and Sam Marshall, wonderful nieces and nephews and many close friends. Visitation will be 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., Tuesday at South Frankfort Presbyterian Church, 224 Steele St., followed by a memorial service at 12:00 p.m. at the church with Rev. Elaine F. Greer and Rev. Dr. David Wadsworth officiating. LeCompte Johnson Taylor Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences may be left at www.ljtfuneralhome.com. In lieu of contributions or flowers, Janice asks that you spread love to all you encounter.
