Janice Conklin Obituary

Jan was one of the first woman I met after moving to Charleston. While attending WW meetings, she was always so friendly and gracious. Did I forget to say funny, too?

After moving to James Island, I ran into her at the Lowcountry Senior Center and in time, we became friends. There were four of us who would go out at times for lunch, some movies and dinners and even a few trips to the NC mountains. We always had fun!

To me, Jan was the epitome of a lady; she was kind, generous and I so loved her sense of humor. I am so fortunate to have known her and that she called me her friend.

My sincere condolences to all of her family. We all lost someone special.

Deepest sympathy to Jan and Otis’s daughters and their families. It’s never easy saying the final goodbye.

Dear Suzy, Rhett and Cheryl,

I was so sorry to read of your mom's passing. I can imagine how sad you must feel. I have been thinking of you these last couple of days and hoping you are ok. I remember your mom well. I remember her friendliness, her big smile and her hearty laugh. She was fun to be around. Your mom was a beautiful lady and her legacy lives on in her lovely daughters.

Wishing you peace and comfort,

Carol

It was a pleasure to know Jan. I have the fondest memories of her at the Lowcountry Senior Center. She volunteered for several years and was an active participant. I will forever remember her smile and kind nature. Jan left a long lasting imprint on my heart. My sympathies to the family. Aleshia

Dearest Suzy,

Our thoughts, memories and love of your most wonderful Mother will never be forgotten. At times between you and Richard being basically Grand Parents to our Sons, she was like a Great Grand Mom to them as well and we all loved her, so sweet. We love you dearly and your Sisters as well for we have had many a good times over the years that we cherish and hope will continue. Mom is in a better place, free from personal pain and the crazy world we live in, what a peace that must be? We are here for you as we have been, we send all of the love a couple of folks can send and I hope you feel it! You are always included in our prayers and we can't wait to hug your neck!

Love and prayers,

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Jan was such a beautiful person. She worked for my dad in Fritz’s office. We actually have 2 large pictures Otis did for my parents! So sad for your family, “To be absent from the body , is to be present with the Lord” Corinthians 5:8. My dad was Joe Maupin, you may have met him. Thoughts and prayers, Beth and Bruce McMurray

I first met Janice when began working at Conklin's in the late 1960's. Both she and Otis were wonderful to work with and they continued to be just as nice as the years passed and I would see them at church, shopping and later, Jan, at the Senior Center. She always had a smile and asked about my kids. How ironic, but I attended a grave side service the first of July at Bethany and I looked over to the headstone I was standing by and it was your Dad. I smiled as a flood of memories came back to me. He is resting in a beautiful shaded spot and now he and Jan are reunited. Sad for those who mourn her life, but they are basking in the new light together. May you find peace and smile when you think of the wonderful memories.

Deepest sympathy for the family of this beautiful lady. I worked at the Custom House with her while she working for Senator Hollings. I rescued her from being stuck in the elevator once. Mrs. Jan was a beautiful, sweet caring lady.
