October 18, 1947 — October 11, 2018

Janis Edman, age 70, resident of Mt. Juliet, passed away on Thursday, October 11, at Alive Hospice in Nashville following a sudden illness.

Janis was born October 18, 1947, in Detroit, Michigan, the daughter of the late Duane Butler and Betty Curtiss Butler. She was the wife of Richard Edman, who preceded her in death in January of 2017. Janis spent 20 years with the United States Postal Service as a postal carrier. She, along with her husband, had a lifelong love of antiquing.
