Published

on

February 19, 1964 – August 23, 2021 NOCONA – Janice Ann Ball, 57, went home to be with our Lord on Aug. 23, 2021 in Wichita Falls, TX.

A celebration of Janice’s life will be at 11 a.m. on Aug. 27 with visitation immediately preceding at 10 a.m. at First Baptist Church Nocona, with Dave Woodbury officiating, and under the direction of Scott-Morris Funeral Home.

Janice was born on Feb. 19, 1964 to Fred and Frankie Jane Castle. Janice graduated Nocona High School in 1982 and married the love of her life, Barney Dale Ball, on Sept. 4, 1982. In addition to being a truly devoted wife and mother, Janice worked for Nocona Boot Company, Nocona Independent School District, First Baptist Church and Gibbs Drug, where she came to know and love so many people in her hometown of Nocona.

She enjoyed volunteering for Meals on Wheels and being around kids when she worked for Nocona ISD. Janice and Barney have a daughter, Heather, who was the light of her life! She was always so excited to tell anyone who would listen, all of Heather’s successes and future plans.

Janice loved big! Janice loved everyone! She would start every day by seeing whose birthday or anniversary it was and then proceed to personally contact them on their special day! Upon meeting anyone, she would give a hug, a kiss on the cheek or call you by the nickname she gave you. More often than not, you received a neck rub, whether you wanted one or not! Janice loved her small town of Nocona and everyone in it. She was loved by all that knew her and will truly be missed.

Janice is preceded in death by her mother, Frankie Jane Castle and grandparents, Fred and Edith Castle, W. F. Conway and Majorie Conway.

Janice is survived by her husband, Barney; dad, Fred Castle; daughter, Heather and fiancé, Patrick; sisters, Marie Castle and Jean Crow and husband Danny; brother, Jason Castle; aunt, Carolyn Fenoglio who was like a sister and numerous other aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your favorite charity or her favorite, First Baptist Church. An online guestbook is available at scottmorrisfh.com.
