Janice (Jan) Semmler Lunsford was called home on November 21, 2020. Janice was born on April 2, 1941 to Myrtis and Melvin Semmler in Caldwell County Texas. Jan was born, raised and lived most her life in Texas, where she worked for a floral distributor until she retired in 2006.
Jan was a very strong independent woman who had a tremendous love for animals. Her home was always full of many different types of animals; her favorite pets that she recalled and enjoyed talking about were her two pet skunks she had. She was always known for helping any stray she came across and for spoiling her family pets with home cooked food and plenty of cuddles and love. She had a great sense of humor and always had a smile on her face. She was a devoted mother, daughter, and friend, who was always there for those in need. In her earlier years, she enjoyed fishing, playing softball, pool, and darts in her spare time. In her later years, after she became legally blind, she enjoyed sitting in her recliner listening to classic western movies and TV shows.
In 2014, Janice came to live with her daughter Christina (Chris) Agull, her son-in-law Jose Miguel Agull and her grandson Barak Michener in Las Cruces. They cared for her, in their family home, as she, battled Alzheimer's until she eventually lost the battle and took her last breath. At the time of her passing, she was surrounded by much Love, Care, and Honor by her daughter Chris and her daughter's family...
