Janice Campbell Obituary

On January 22, 2021, Janice Marie Campbell, 69, died at Jennie Sealy Hospital in Galveston.

Janice Marie Ross was born on March 13, 1951, born in Lafayette, Louisiana to Elizabeth Ann Eaglin-Figgins and Curley Ross, Sr. She was the oldest of 7 children.

Janice was raised in California and Texas, by her mother and stepfather Gilbert Figgins, and later in New York by her maternal grandmother, Bertha Sam-Eaglin. She graduated from High School in New York. She later received a degree in Accounting.

After finishing her degree, she moved back to Galveston and Preston Gene "Rab" Scott won her heart after years of asking. They fell in love and raised six beautiful children Tunisia, Timothy "BJ", Leandra Lacy, Janice Shanea, Starkisha Renee, and Prestina Elizabeth.

She accepted Christ at an early age and was a member of Reedy Chapel in Galveston, Texas.

Janice LOVED spending time with her family more than anything else and helping in her community. She loved listening to music, especially old school R&B and Gospel, and cooking and feeding anyone who stepped foot in her home. Her home was always a safe place for her nieces, nephews, and all her children's friends. She was loved by all who met her.

Janice was a youth counselor with JTPA in Galveston from 1985 until 1992. Then from 1994 until 2003, she worked for the Galveston Housing Authority and loved all the residents at Holland House and Gulf Breeze. During that time, she was also on the Galveston School Board from 1994 to 1998. In 2004, she began her career with Communities in School Galveston until her death. She made an impact on everyone that ever crossed her path because everyone could see her beautiful spirit and huge heart. She also worked part-time at Home Depot for many years in Galveston.
