Janice Linzy, 88, of North East, MD passed into heaven on Sunday, November 1, 2026. Born in Rhodell, WV on October 4, 1938, she was the daughter of the late William Bishop Sr. and Letha Bishop Parker.

She carried a strong faith in God, was the heart of our home and devoted her life to her late husband, Ray Linzy Sr., and children. Creating and maintaining a nurturing, loving, disciplined and safe environment in which her children could grow and thrive. When life’s difficulties arose, she was a firm believer in “All things work together for good to those who love Him” and also “casting all your cares upon Him; For He careth for you”.

While we are heartbroken that we have lost her; We are happy that she has now joined our father; and relieved that she has been removed from pain and suffering.

Survivors include sons, Ray Linzy Jr. and John Linzy, daughters, Loretta Hamrick and Ruth Slone; grandchildren, Michael Hamrick, Jacob Hamrick, Kimberly Shaak, Jared Slone, and Trent Slone; great-grandchildren, Rachel, Nicholas, Rebecca, Oakley, and Kennedy; sister, Dealia Beal, and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, loving husband, Ray Linzy Sr.; brothers, Bill Bishop, Jim Bishop; sister, Georgia Billings; daughter-in-law, Gwen Vanscoy Linzy; and sons-in-law, Jeffrey Slone and Wayne Hamrick.
