Laura Jane (Janie) Hayes Chance, of Jonesboro, Arkansas, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on September 3, 2019 in Mountain Home, Arkansas at the age of 60. Janie was born August 23, 1959 in Harrison, Arkansas to Walker and Lela Richesin Hayes.
Janie is survived by her husband Larry Chance of Jonesboro, AR; two sons Dax (Delana) Chance and their daughter Emma of Little Rock, AR and Chad Chance of Fayetteville, AR; three brothers Rusty (Kay) Hayes, Butch (Sue) Hayes, and Buck (Tonya) Hayes and four sisters Kathy (Roy Len) Sisco, Barbara (Herb) Gipson, Cricket (Rocky Bob) Thomason and Candy (Mike) Carlson along with 16 nephews, 3 nieces, and numerous great nieces and nephews.

Janie was a lifetime member of the Church of Christ. She was an avid gardener, a passion she turned into a business when she opened Laura Jane Designs Flower Shop. She loved celebrating holidays, moments and people, especially children. She was every child’s favorite Aunt. Easter at Janie’s house was a culmination of all her favorite things – family, friends, flowers, crafting, cooking and the Easter bunny himself. Janie’s love for life was contagious. She squeezed every ounce of happiness out of every day. She was an incredibly talented person that made everything she touched into something beautiful. Her bright and energetic personality will be deeply missed by her friends and family.
A Memorial Service for Janie will be held at 2:00 pm, Saturday, September 7, 2019, at Ridgeway Church of Christ in Harrison, Arkansas.
