She leaves behind cherished memories of her unwavering love and support as a mother and grandmother. Janis is preceded in death by her parents, Hamilton and Margarete Rush, and a son, Rance Marlow. She is survived by two sons, Layne Marlow of Brownfield and Scott Marlow of Palm Springs, CA; two grandchildren, Shari Henson (Dane) of Granbury andAuston Marlow of Fort Worth; and two great-grandchildren.
