Janice Eyvonne (Lefler) Hamilton

Janice Lefler Hamilton, 81, of Kannapolis, passed away Sunday March 27, 2022 after a period of declining health. Born March 22, 1941 in Cabarrus County, she was the daughter of the late Clifford W. Sr. and Faye Todd Lefler.
Janice spent her working years as a Secretary for the City of Concord's Planning and Zoning Department. A devout Christian, Janice was a member of North Kannapolis Baptist Church. She loved working at the church's food pantry on Wednesdays. She enjoyed time in her yard, gardening, watching the birds, and absolutely loved the beach and traveling. More than anything, she loved her family and will forever be remembered for that.
Janice's memory will be cherished by those she leaves behind including her daughter, Karen Hamilton Craven (Aaron); her son, Phillip W. Hamilton (Donna); a brother, C.W. Lefler, Jr; eleven grandchildren, Amanda Edwards, Nikolas Brooks, Autumn Frieze, Elizabeth Hamilton, Matthew Hamilton, Elijah Hamilton, Neely Craven, Logan Craven, Mackenzie Romero, Amber Owens, and Drew Strickland; and nine great grandchildren. Janice is also survived by her loyal caregiver, whom will miss her dearly, Wanda Purser James.
Aside from her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband Perry Phillip Hamilton.
A funeral service to honor Janice's life will be held 2:00 pm Tuesday, April 5, 2022 at Whitley's Funeral Chapel Kannapolis. Rev. Leon Hawks will officiate. Interment will follow in Carolina Memorial Park. The family will receive friends from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm prior to the service at the funeral home Tuesday.
The family respectfully requests memorials be made to North Kannapolis Baptist Church Food Pantry, 312 Locust Street, 28081.
