Janice Treadway Obituary

June 16, 1938 – September 21, 2023

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL - Janice E. Treadway, age 85 passed away to be with the Lord Thursday, September 21st, 2023. Janice was born in Mohawk, Tennessee June 16th, 1938 to Davis Edward and Anna Mae Easterly. She is preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Edwin L. Treadway and her sister Mona "Pat" Livingston.

Janice graduated from McDonald High School in 1956 and later attended East Tennessee State University where she studied Music Education. She married her husband Edwin Treadway in 1960 and they happily resided in Kingsport, Tennessee, finding time to teach raise two children.

Janice had a strong passion for music, making it fun and exciting for people of all ages. Janice was a wonderful pianist who could both read music and play by ear. Janice also loved to lend her talents for many music venues throughout the Tri-Cities area. She was a devoted member of the local musical group " The Crackerjacks" and the First Presbyterian choir. She never met a stranger and would relentlessly bring humor to any situation. After teaching music for 40 years she retired to Saint Augustine, Florida where she taught music at the Cathedral Parish School for over 12 years and attended Ancient City Baptist Church.

Janice is survived by her children Clay B. Treadway, Bryan P. Treadway, her grandchildren Joshua Treadway, Lauren Arizmendi, Daniel Treadway, Benjamin Treadway, and Sara Grace Treadway.

A Life of Celebration will be announced in the near future.

Mrs. Treadway was my music teacher in elementary school and became my mom's friend when we moved to
Newbern Road near her and Ed. Me and my sisters would babysit for the Treadways when we were teenagers. I also purchased her house on Newbern Rd later in life. Memories of croquet on warm summer nights as my Mom Frankie Clark and Janice played against Ed and my Dad O. G. Clark. Such a true Southern Lady blessed with musical talents and charm. I bless her memory today and always. Love & Prayers Vicky Clark Fields

Janice truly did make music fun! I sang in the Crackerjacks with many wonderful friends. Janice led rehearsals and the performances were so exciting. Janice made all of this possible. Also, we were great teacher friends as we shared ideas and attended workshops together. I miss you, my friend. Love, Sandy Allen and Tom too.
