  Janice Sue Aiken St. John
  1947 - 2021

Janice Sue Aiken St. John was born February 4, 1947 in Ft. Worth TX and passed away December 10, 2021. As a preacher's daughter, she called many places home. From Ft. Worth to Denton for grade school, to Farmington, NM for middle school, a brief stint in New Orleans before high school in Houston. The most consistent place for her was the Aiken family cabin in Taos, New Mexico. The cabin is a summer “home” she would later share with others in her life.  It was 1967 at Texas Tech where she met the love of her life, Edward St. John, with whom she shared real homes in Ft. Worth and Dallas, for the next 46 years. She worked in the non-profit industry until she moved to her real passion of English education in the community college district. Her love was to help students prepare for more advanced collegiate ambitions. As a couple, she and Edward spent many years volunteering with NDSM, MS Society, The Bridge and The Stewpot. In the global community, she volunteered as a Be the Match courrier and on mission trips to Guatemala. Grounded in deep faith, she spent her extra time in service to her church, First Presbyterian Church of Dallas, as a Sunday School leader, an elder, and the president of Presbyterian Women. She was known as the Soup Angel for feeding friends, neighbors and pastors. Her soup was famous for its taste but even more for the love that came with it. She is survived by daughters Jennifer, husband Oscar Saenz, and Beth, husband Nick Daines, mother-in-law Lillian St. John, sister Kay Reeve, brother-in-law Dan Page and many nieces and nephews. She was (and will always be) beloved Mimi to Connor, Ethan and Emma Saenz, Luke, Matthew and Lillian Daines. And, of course, her beloved dogs Winston and Sasha. Her memorial service will be on Saturday, Dec 18 at 3:30pm at FPC Dallas. ALL are welcome, MASKS are required. Preferred flowers are poinsettias for the Advent season. Donations can be made to The Stewpot, Friends of Fort Liberté Haiti, and VCFS Texas.

This is Kay, the "twin." I have reached out to Jeanne Spencer thanking her for getting this notice up.  I am currently engaged in treatment for a medical issue that has severly limited my doing what I would normally, so I am so grateful to her. Please know how much Sue enjoyed hearing about you all through this site, and how much she (and I) enjoyed the reunions. What a gift to us both to have gone to Waltrip.

I am so sorry to hear about Sue's passing.  Sue was a close friend at Waltrip--a wonderful, kind, caring friend.  My deepest condolences to her family and to Kay.  And Kay--I'm so sorry for your medical issues right now.  I hope your treatment finds you better very soon.

So sorry to hear this. I didn't really know them but they were always nice to me whenever we encountered.  RIP.
