Janis Marie Wyatt Gore, left for Heaven on Saturday , September 21, 2024. She had celebrated her 93rd birthday on June 28th.

She was the daughter of Rev. James R. Wyatt and Nellie Mae Davis Wyatt, of Waco, Texas.

In 1950 she married Floyd Gore, and they took up residence in Crossville in 1951. She was a homemaker most of her life, but sometimes worked as a seamstress.  She was of a quite nature, but had a wonderful sense of humor. She was solely dedicated to her family and seeing to their happiness.  

She raised 2 daughters, Linda Gore Bennett, of Crossville, and Carolyn Gore Thompson,  of Peachland, NC.

Grandchildren were her joy. Jason Dyer and Jeff Dyer of Crossville, Jill Dyer Green of Knoxville , April Thompson Hoover of North Carolina. Granddaughter,  Sabrina Thompson Mullis of North Carolina  passed away in 2019.

The great grandchildren could do no wrong! Jace Dyer, Lucas Dyer, Bailey Dyer, and Beau Dyer of Crossville. Duncan Green, Knoxville, and Jake Green,  Boston, Mass. Callie Thompson, Nathan Fulks, and Makayla Bishop of N C. , and Michael Bishop of S.C.

This year she welcomed her first great-great grandchild, Jax Dyer. We had 5 generations together. 

Services will be held Sunday, September 29th at the Mayland Church of the Nazarene . Visitation at 2:00 and service at 3:00. Burial will follow in the Mayland Cemetery. Her grandson, Rev. Jason Dyer, will be officiating the service. 

We are so thankful for the time we had her here with us. Even 93 years was not long enough.
