Janae Marie James Warhurst, 42, of Harpers Ferry, WV, passed away on September 24, 2023. She was born on November 13, 1980, in Rockford, IL, to Kenneth James and Yvonne King.

Janae was the type of person to light up every room she walked into with her BOOMING personality. She had friends from every step of her life whom she held dearly in her heart. Janae was a strong-minded and strong-willed individual, the type of person you'd never forget. She loved her job as a Sales Representative at Trugreen and was highly motivated to help those around her learn to be as good as she was. Janae didn't only love the people in her life; she cared so passionately about them, and everyone who knew Janae never had to question that. Janae's children and grandchildren lit up her world; her family was everything to her. She was an avid reader, loved her "prime-time" TV, and enjoyed keeping up with photos and her "SnapChat-streaks." Janae's unforgettable personality will be deeply missed.

Janae is survived by her husband, Joseph Warhurst; step-son, Joshua Robinson; daughter, Alexandria Warhurst; sons, Austin Warhurst and Jaxson Warhurst; granddaughters, Anastasia Almodovar and Aracelis Almodovar; father, Kenneth James; and brother, Justin James. She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Richard James, grandmother, Mary-Lou James, grandmother, Norma (Nelson) Pottorff, grandfather, Robert Okas, and step-grandfather, Carl (Buster) Pottorff.

Janae was also preceded in death by her mother, Yvonne King.

A celebration of life will be held on Friday, October 6th, at 4:30 PM at the Fellowship Bible Church Pavilion (160 Daniel Rd, Shenandoah Junction, WV 25442). An additional celebration of life for friends and family will be held in Rockford, IL (TBA).

Janae Marie Warhurst will be dearly missed by all who knew her. May she rest in peace.
