Janie Davis, the daughter of Ronnie and Glenda (Goodall) Davis, was born June 14, 1972 at Skaggs Community Hospital in Branson, Missouri and passed away at her home in Hartshorn, Missouri on March 23, 2022 at the age of 49.

She was united in marriage to Linus Lee Newby on September 27, 1992 at Alley Springs.  To their union two children were born, Sarah Preston and Katie Rose.

Janie was saved as a young adult at Fundamental Bible Baptist Church while attending with her friend Marjorie.

At a young age, Janie was breaking horses and mules.  She enjoyed riding mules with her dad.  Janie was also known as “Hank”, “Hanky” or “Henry Dog” to some of the family.  She was a great cook who loved finding and trying new recipes.  She had a great collection of cookbooks.  Janie had a green thumb and spent a lot of time in her flower beds and garden.  She was a lover of the outdoors.  She enjoyed riding the motorcycles and four-wheelers, loved yard saleing and enjoyed watching movies.  Janie also loved tacos…they were her favorite, but Linny’s…not so much! Janie’s greatest joy was her family.

Preceding Janie in death were her father, Ronnie Davis; grandmother, Dorothy Goodall; father-in-law, Leonard Newby and a special friend, Marjorie Huffman.
