Janis Jo “JJ” Green, 80, went to be with the Lord on Monday, June 12, 2023, at Red Bud Regional Hospital. She was born to T. Lesley and Grace Marie (Beswick) Wilson on July 7, 1942, in Sparta, Illinois.
Janis was an avid scrapbooker and quilter. She enjoyed dancing her whole life, ever since she was a little girl. Janis’ biggest drive in life was to have as many people in heaven with her as she could. She loved Jesus and continued to grow closer to God in Albuquerque, NM, Honolulu, HI, and in Sparta, IL while attending Calvary Baptist Church. Janis loved her family at home and her family within the church, together they all helped bring each other closer to God.
She was preceded in death by her parents and husband, Benjamin L. Green.
Janis is survived by two children – Kelly (Joe) Green of Sparta, IL, and Kenny (Beth) Green of Fairview Heights, IL; cousin – Nedra (Steve) Raney of OK; nine grandchildren – Morgan Green, Kassandra Green, Benjamin Green, Layla Green, Kaitlyn Green, Sean Green, Grace Banda, Teodoro Malkijah Banda, and Faith Banda; 11 great grandchildren; other relatives and friends.

When we were in high school, I spent the night many times, after basketball games, at Janis home. I was so impressed, because she had a record player, which I did not have, and she would put a record on, when we went to bed. Just one of the memories I have of her. She was a sweet. gentle person. I will miss her.

Tenderly, may time heal your sorrow. Gently, may friends ease your pain. Softly, may peace replace your heartaches. And may the warmest memories remain.

I was shocked to receive a call from my brother today telling me of Jan’s death. We were such good friends in high school, and she was in our wedding. I was to go by your house to see her during the Christmas holidays, but she called me that morning saying she wasn’t feeling well. We we’re returning home the next day, so I didn’t get to see her. We were coming through there the end of this month and had hoped to see her then. I am sure we will see her again in her new home forevermore in God’s time. You and your family will be in our prayers, especially Friday.
