Janiesha Mae Gregory

Heaven needed an Angel so Janiesha Mae Gregory was called home on March 5, 2025. Born on November 4, 1987, Janiesha known to many as “Bert“ was a bright light in the lives of all who knew her. Her infectious smile, kind heart, and warm spirit brought joy to everyone around her.

She dedicated much of her life to helping others, particularly those with special needs. She currently worked at Greenwood House and Community Options. She has dedicated more than ten years caring for others. Her work was a true reflection of her caring nature and her unwavering desire to help those in need. Whether through her professional work or in her personal life, she always made time to lend a helping hand, offer a word of encouragement, or share a moment of laughter.

Bert’s greatest joy in life, however, was her sons. They were the center of her world. Her love for them was immeasurable, and she cherished every moment spent with them. Together, they created countless memories, filled with love, laughter, and adventure.

She also had a strong bond with her family and didn’t play about them. She was fiercely protective and loyal, and her love for her family was relentless. N-V-Us for life!

Known for her vibrant personality and sense of style, Bert loved getting dressed up, doing her makeup, and capturing every moment with selfies. She had a passion for life, loved to travel, and made every vacation an adventure. Whether she was out exploring new places or simply enjoying time with her loved ones, Bert radiated joy, confidence, and positivity. Her social media was a vibrant collection of her joyful moments, filled with pictures of her beaming smile and her unforgettable spirit.

Above all, Bert was a woman who loved deeply, cared fiercely, and had a heart that made everyone around her feel special. Her legacy of kindness, love, and generosity will live on in the countless lives she touched.
