Janet Lynn Clark Price
Janet Price, 74, of Simpsonville, wife of Clifton Jay Price, went to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, November 12, 2022.
She was the daughter of Rosella Olinger Clark and the late Perry Eugene Clark.
In addition to her husband, Mrs. Price is survived by her sons Jason Price and his wife, Vivian, and Kevin Price and his wife, Valerie; four grandchildren, Caleb Jay Price, Jack Ethan Price, Ella Harper Price, and Caroline Cate Price; one brother, Gerald Vincent Clark, her niece, Elizabeth Barrett Miller (BJ), grand-niece Jonah, grand-nephews Alex and Abel, and nephew; Adam Vincent Clark (Valerie).
Janet was a rock of stability for everyone that knew her. Although addressed to Simpsonville, SC since 1978, the majority of her time was spent in, and around, the city of Fountain Inn, SC. She was an active member of the Fountain Inn Presbyterian Church, serving as an alto in the adult choir, in several leadership capacities as a deacon, elder, at-large congregational member. She held roles as an administrative assistant, a volunteer, a Children’s Choir director, Sunday School teacher, a real estate agent, a Greenville County poll Cleark for 20 years, a wife, mother/grandmother/aunt/sister, caretaker, confidant, and essential friend to all.
She was a 1967 graduate of Wilmington High School in Wilmington, OH, attended Ohio State University, and made homes in several other states such as California, Ohio, and Arizona. She traveled the nation widely and throughout other countries around the world. She never met a person that she could not relate to in a unique & special way. She routinely left everyone she met with images of her smile, sounds of her laughter, feelings of her warm hugs, and a memory of her specific points of connection to them.
She was loved by many, will be missed by so many more, and left all who she touched better than they were.
Funeral Services will be held at Fountain Inn Presbyterian Church on Monday, November 21, 2022 at 3:00 pm. The family will receive friends at the church in the fellowship hall starting at 1:30 pm. Interment will follow the funeral service in Cannon-Byrd Memorial Park.
For Janet, music was more than just music. It was a way to create, shape, and define life itself. For this reason, and in lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to: Fountain Inn Music Club, Attn: Tonya Cary, 15 Shallow Creek Ct., Fountain Inn, SC 29644, (P) 864-430-9189 or electronically via Venmo @fountaininnmusicclub. Funds received will be made available as scholarships through the Fountain Inn Music Club for students wishing to bring music into their lives – just as Janet had done in her own life as well as all of those who she loved so dearly
The service on Monday at Fountain Inn Presbyterian will be streamed at: https://www.youtube.com/…/UCiM7WpOOjeDqQlcbAUvwkCA/streams

I am so sorry for the enormous loss to the family of Janet’s passing. We don’t understand in this world why/when a loved one changes their address to HEAVEN!
I was fortunate enough to have become more than an acquaintance of Janets when I met her when I joined The Fountain Inn Chorale. She was so nice to me as I started on that adventure!
Prayers for all whom will have void in their lives.
I was so saddened to hear of Janet’s passing.
She was a very kind Lady & I enjoyed working with her at Allen Tate.
May her Family be comforted in the coming days.
Sincerely

Janet is a true loss to this world. I always enjoyed when I would speak with her at family events. I’ve always noticed the beautiful relationship she had with Cliff as well as the rest of her family. She was a warm, caring lady and my heart hurts for the family. Praying for peace.
My families deepest sympathies to your family. What a shock to hear the passing of sweet Janet. An echo of the above thoughts and what “will be” said, Janet was always encouraging, warm and positive to talk with. Always taking an interest in my life and my families. I know she was a believer and is home with the Lord. Thank God we can have faith in this. Praying for your family
Jason, Kevin and family, Bill & I were shocked to learn of this devastating news and will continue to pray for you and healing for your dad. Your mom & dad were one of the first to welcome us to FIPC and have remained friends for over forty years. A shocking event like this will test your faith and we pray you will hold strong. Our sincerest condolences to the entire Price family.
I lost one of my nearest and dearest friends. Mere words cannot express how deeply saddened I am. Janet was a rock. Fountain Inn has lost one of the most beautiful and caring people in the world. Her hard work and dedication to everything she chose to be involved with made that organization shine and thrive! Sincere prayers for and condolences for the family and praying for Cliff as well.
Cliff, our prayers are with you and your family on this sudden loss of Janet. Janet was a sweet and loving person.
So sorry to hear of Janet’s passing. She was a wonderful person! Her smile and personality gave whatever place she was a warm, loving atmosphere. She is missed.
Bill and Virginia Hunter
Big prayers on behalf of the Price family–for Mr. Cliff’s full recovery, and for peace and comfort following the loss of Mrs. Janet…God be with you all!
I met Janet and Cliff almost a year ago at Longevity Pilates. Janet was so kind and friendly to me which meant so much since my husband and I recently moved to South Carolina from out of state. As I got to know this Godly woman, I felt she was a Blessing not only to me but to so many in the community. I am praying for Cliff and the family during this sad time and feel confident I will meet Janet again when the Lord calls me Home.
I’m so heartbroken by the loss of Janet. The heavens surely gained an angel. Prayers for the family. I know your faith will get you through this tragedy.
What a horrible thing to happen to such beautiful people. I hope the family can take solace knowing death will never separate those two souls. They have a bond that most can only envy.
So sorry to hear this news. Sending prayers to Ciff and family. May she R.I.P.
A terrible accident that tragically ended Janet’s wonderful life. After working a long Election Day she was still able to smile ‘hello’ to me. I will miss that.
My condolences and prayers to the family especially Cliff as he continues to heal.
I am heartbroken at this sad occurrence. While my interaction with Janet was on a professional level, Janet was so warm and caring that she felt like a dear friend. My deepest sympathy to her family, especially Clifton, and all who knew and loved her.
Most Sincerely,

How fortunate I am to have known Janet. How deeply she will be missed by all who knew her- as well as the town and the organizations where she shared her talents. The entire Cannon family grieve at the loss of Janet here, but I’m sure the heavenly choir is singing Halleluiah.
Offering our sincere condolences and prayers for healing to all within The Price Family.

I never knew Ms Janet but I know Kevin, and that tells me all I would need to know about her. He’s good people, and I know she’s smiling down from above and beaming with pride at you Kevin for your faith, your strength, and your witness in the midst of tragedy.
To Cliff and family, my love and hugs go out to you. Janet will be missed by all surviving, but mostly by you…her family. I will be praying for hearts to heal and for the physical injuries sustained. We all loved her.
Shock does not convey the feelings felt when I learned of Janet’s passing. Janet and I shared church, choir, chorale, music club. and the sale of our Fountain Inn house. Our Earthly friendship will be terribly missed. Love and prayers for the entire Price family.

My deepest condolences to the Price and Clark families and a prayer for a speedy recovery for Cliff. Janet was a kind and supportive mother and sports mom! I haven’t seen her in years, but will always remember her for being there for anyone who needed her. Prayers for the entire family from the Hartman family.
Thinking of you all as you process this oh so difficult circumstance. You can tell by the smile in all of her pictures that she was a joyful & happy person – full of life. I am so sorry for your loss. Also, many well wishes to Cliff as he recovers and moves through this extremely tough time. You are in my thoughts & prayers.
We were shocked to hear this devestating news early Sunday morning! She will be missed by many and I so appreciate the friendship that we shared. Our prayers are with the entire family and our specific prayer is that God will wrap His arms of comfort around each and everyone!
Celia and Gary Murphy
Needless to say, we are stunned and deeply saddened over this tragedy. Cliff and the Price family are in our thoughts. Janet (and Cliff) was a great neighbor to all of the Clark Manor family, we are going to miss seeing your frequent coming and going along with a wave and occasional car horn toot!
I will miss Janet very much. She sat in front of me in Ft. Inn Chorale and I have enjoyed knowing. She was very likeable and easy to learn to know and love. My prayers are with each of the family.
Our deepest sympathy and prayers to the entire family.
May God bless and comfort everyone as you grieve

Dear Cliff, Kevin, Valerie, Jason, Vivian, and family,
There are no words to express how I feel. My heart hurts deeply for you. Having worked with Janet for 25+|~ years, I knew she loved her family more than anything. She spoke of each of you often. She loved bringing her grands to our pond in TR years ago, and all caught fish! It was a great memory for her.
I have many wonderful memories of Janet, one of my favorites being a trip to NYC with Cliff and Janet in 2005. Many many laughs! Her smile was contagious and she was always one of my favorite people to be around.
I will keep you all in my prayers. Janet is using her beautiful voice to sing praises to her Savior. Maybe she and my mom have sung a duet already! ❤️

Sending prayers your way Cliff, Jason and Kevin and your families. Janet was such a lovely and gracious lady. I always enjoyed my chats with Janet and Cliff. I pray Cliff is healing as well. Janet will be missed and her endearing smile.
Dear Cliff,
Like so many others, shock and sadness were our initial reactions when we first heard about Janet’s passing. Lauretta and I are so sorry Cliff, as you and your entire family deal with your terrible loss of Janet. She was such a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. All of us who were blessed to know her can attest to her kindness, her easy smile and quick sense of humor. We all will feel her loss for quite some time.
Thankfully, though, we can also attest to the fact that she had accepted Jesus’ gift of salvation and was open about her faith. Therefore, although we surely grieve her loss, we are thrilled to know that she instantly passed from this world into the loving arms of her Father in heaven. Nothing gives more peace than this sustaining assurance.
Lauretta and I grieve with you, Cliff, and are praying for your physical and emotional healing. We are both sorry that we are unable to be with you today due to prior commitments. Just know that we love and support you during this difficult time.
Dr. and Mrs Timothy G. Cross

As I anticipate Janet’s services this afternoon, it is still unbelievable to me that she is no longer with us. Our community has suffered a great loss, but, Cliff and family, we cannot imagine the loss that is yours. Please know that our thoughts and prayers for God’s comfort are with you this afternoon and in the days ahead.
Janet was Co-Chair of the Music Club’s Tour of Homes, and she and I worked on it for years at this season. She was the perfect co-worker — dependable, dedicated to the task, wise in her counsel, witty and always pleasant. We all loved her, leaned on her, and, oh, how we miss her.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I have heard and read so many kind words regarding Janet. Although I did not know her personally and do know Kevin and he is such a testament to what a wonderful mother she was.
I am so saddened to hear of Janet’s passing. I was able to see her over many years as she accompanied her mother to visits. She was a rock and a light in this world. I loved reading the kind words above and the obituary is beautiful. I am glad to have learned about her many talents and gifts that she shared with the world. My condolences to her entire family.
