Janet "Jane" Leigh Roy Fox went home to spend Eternity with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Oct. 11. 2023, after a brief illness.
Jane was an incredible wife, mother and friend.
She was born and raised in Harding, West Virginia, to the late Danny and Mary Teresa Roy, moving to Shady Spring, West Virginia, in 1972, then to Knoxville, Tennessee, in 2018.
She was a graduate of Coalton High School.
She is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, Chet; her sons, Skip (Kelly) Fox of Matthews, North Carolina, Chad (Jessica) Fox of Knoxville, Tennessee, Rusty (Susan) Vance of Orange, Virginia; and daughter, Laura Hugo (Maurice) Steedly of Callahan, Florida; grandchildren, Landon, Coy and Colt Fox, Cole and Claire Steedly and Seth and Silas Novoselich; siblings, Terry (David) Broschart of Jimtown, West Virginia, Sarah Roy (Danny) Phillips of Jimtown, David (Martha) Roy of Elkins, West Virginia, the late Danny (Darlene) Roy of Elkins and Rosemary Roy (Howard) Crouch of Wadsworth, Ohio; and many nieces and nephews; and "Momma Fox" to many friends over the years.
Jane was a member of the Daniels Missionary Baptist Church for many years and then at First Baptist Concord after moving to Knoxville. In both places, she was involved in the women's ministry and was a friend to anyone that came into contact with her. She truly was a special lady who was full of love and life, never really growing old in many ways. She kept her family and friends full of love and laughs.
There will be a celebration of life service on Nov. 4 from the chapel at First Baptist Concord in Farragut, Tennessee, with visitation starting at 3 p.m. and the service at 4 p.m.
