Janice Marie Dodd was born to Mr. John Truman Dodd and Irma Nell Skaggs Dodd on May 22, 1956, at Hopkins County Memorial Hospital in Sulphur Springs, Texas. She was raised in Garland and graduated from South Garland High School. She met the love of her life, Mark Alan Cezar in 1991 in Garland, Texas and they married on June 7, 1992, in Rockwall, Texas. They made their home in Quinlan where Janice enjoyed being a devoted wife and a hard-working mother of three. Janice loved spending time in her yard, landscaping, and feeding hummingbirds. She was an incredibly talented dog groomer and worked for VCA Veterinarian Hospital in Dallas and University Park Animal Hospital. Janice had a passion for animals and was also involved in SPCA and Mesquite Animal Rescue for many years. She was an emotionally and physically strong woman, constantly working to improve herself and leave a beautiful legacy of love for her family. Janice adored Christmas time, decorating for the holidays, and spoiling her grandbabies rotten during the holiday seasons. She enjoyed collecting dragons, crosses, bulldogs, owls, and angel wings. Janice was greeted in Heaven by her father, John Dodd (passed in 2020), and her precious dog, Elvira (passed in June 2022) who no doubt welcomed her with wiggles and kisses.
