Janie Ruth Fulford Langley

Janie Ruth Fulford Langley, 89, of Siler City, went home to be with her Lord Tuesday, June 25th, 2024, at SECU Jim & Betsy Bryan Hospice Home surrounded by loved ones.

Janie was born October 14th, 1934, in Pitt County to James Richard and Annie Laurie Parker Fulford. She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband of 63 years, Ernest Lee Langley, Jr.; her brothers, Colon Parker Fulford, Dr. Joe Fulford, James, Ed, and Harry Fulford; her sisters, Helen F. Horn, and Marie F. Brown.

Along with her 7 siblings, Janie grew up in Farmville, and was a graduate of Farmville High School. In the early 1960's she moved to Siler City, NC with her husband, Ernest, and her children, Terry, and Ricky, so Ernest could assist her brother, Dr. Joe Fulford, in his veterinary business. She loved cooking, gardening, traveling, and spending time with family. "Memaw" was especially close with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren's sports, school events, and extracurricular activities. It brought her joy and happiness to be her family's biggest supporter and cheerleader in life. Her favorite pastime was rocking or swinging on a porch, surrounded by love, food, and laughter. 

She is survived by her daughter, Terry Liles and her husband, Edward; her son, Dr. Ricky Langley and his wife, Sandra; grandchildren, Amber Liles Norman and her husband, Jason, Katie Liles McBroom and her husband, Antonio, Caroline Liles Hudson and her husband, Chase, Megan Langley Walker and her husband, Kyle, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Patrick Langley and his wife, Lauren, and Nicholas Langley; great grandchildren, Nia, Nox, Merritt, Liv, Liles, Jacob, Ella, and Luke; as well as several nieces and nephews.

A funeral service will be held Friday, June 28th, 2024, at 11 am, at Piney Grove Methodist Church where she was a member. Visitation will be one hour prior to service at the church. Burial will follow in church cemetery. Services will be officiated by Reverend Parker Coppock and Reverend Jim Folk.
