Janice Annette Cummings-Carver, 63 years of age, of Lyle’s, TN passed away peacefully at her home April 1, 2025. She was born February 2, 1962, in Fairview, TN to the late James Junior Vanatta and Noricea “Nancy” Tanksley.
Janice lived a hard life for many years, but throughout her struggles, her grandchildren brought her an immense amount of joy. Anytime spent with them was the best time for her. Janice had several different jobs throughout her life, but her most enjoyable job she ever had was working as a cath lab technician in the cath lab at Vanderbilt.
Janice enjoyed watching football, spending time with her daughter and grandchildren, especially when watching them play softball, and spoiling her dog Tolby. She had a weakness for Reese’s Fast Break candy bars and would light up anytime she was surprised with one.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her brothers Tony Vanatta and Jeffrey Vanatta. She is also preceded in death by her grandparents Joe and Alma Spicer and Nathan and Ada Vanatta, and her beloved puppy she had for many years, Nikki.
She is survived by one daughter Tiffany (Michael) Jeppsen of Dickson, TN; sister Margie Jennette of Waverly, TN and sister Dedre Vanatta Hetherington of Dickson, TN; 4 grandchildren, Emma (11), Lorelai (9), Presleigh (5), and Baelin (3); one fur baby, Tolby and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. She will be greatly missed by all that loved her.
