Jan Ledford

Jan Ledford, 77, of Lenoir entered the gates of Glory on Sunday, November 6, 2022 surrounded by members of her family, following a period of declining health. Ms. Ledford never met a craft she did not love, and was a talented floral arranger, painter of wooden trinkets, quiltmaker and seamstress throughout the years. Jan loved to spend time with her family as well as her church family, and she adored working in both outdoor flowers and house plants. Jan was born in Lenoir to the late Fred Marshall and Alice Virginia Pennell Annas. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her brothers, Sherrill (Bud) Annas, Jerry Annas, Kenneth Annas and Neal Annas; sisters, Lois Annas Hoyle, Judy Annas Barlow and Sandra Annas Summerlin. Left to cherish her memory are her daughter Lisa McCloud and husband Ray; son, Terry Clark and wife Michelle; brothers Raymond (Caroline) Annas and Roger (Lynda) Annas; sister Ruthie Gragg; grandchildren Christina Chambers and fiancé Justin Winebarger, David Greer and wife Jessica, Kalan Clark, Dylan Clark, Mark McCloud and wife Susan and Christy McCloud and fiancé Russ Clowers; thirteen great grandchildren, six great-great grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Family will receive friends one hour prior to the service from 1:00PM to 2:00PM at Cedar Valley United Methodist Church at 1304 Cedar Valley Church Rd, Lenoir.
