Today we celebrate the life of Janet Hughes, born in Chicago to Clarence James Hughes and Jewel Holaman Hughes. She has been a proud Dallas resident since age 2, and graduated from Highland Park High School and attended SMU. Janet was a joyful Bluebird/Campfire Girls leader, worked in construction accounting, and retired from DalMac Construction. She remained an avid bridge player and Rangers Baseball fan throughout her life. Preceding her in death was her son, Carleton Hughes Sherman. She is survived by two sisters, Alice Elsby and Pat Hartwig, three daughters, Andrea Sherman, Cynthia (and Harry) Smith and Dd Adams. In addition, she leaves behind grandchildren Jared (and Nikki) Adams, Evan (and Fabiola) Adams, Carleton (and Melanie) Sherman, Wayne Smith and Audrey Smith. Her great-grandchildren include Jillian and Declan Adams.
Services are planned for Friday, June 17, 2016 at 2:00 pm at the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, 421 Custer Rd, Richardson, TX 75080.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Outreach Ministries of Church of the Epiphany (epiphany-richardson.org) or to Austin Street Center (austinstreet.org) in Dallas. Rest in peace, Mom. Your friends and family love you. You will remain in our hearts forever.
Angel of God
My guardian dear
To Whom His love
Commits me here
Ever this day
Be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide.
Amen
Glory be to the Father
and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now,
and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.

"On behalf of my family, I wanted you to know how much we appreciate your handling of my husband's final arrangements. Wayne Baxter assisted & guided us through the entire process with such care & compassion. Don't know what we would have done without him! Sincerely, Colleen Elledge"

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"

I was saddened to hear of Jan’s passing. I will always remember her joy in living and her humble nature. Goodbye sweet Jan.
While I didn’t know Jan for very long, I was always happy to have her as my bridge partner with the women of Epiphany Church since she was focused, fun and a really good player! May she rest in peace and live in everlasting joy being reunited with her loved ones.
Jan was a wonderful supportive mother in law and Carleton’s terrific grandmother. He loved the times he spent with his grandmother, who of course taught him how to play poker. Thank you for all of your support.
Celebrate a life well lived! Granny was a wonderful grandmother to Carleton and taught him to play a snappy game of poker! I have great memories of this smart lady! My best wishes to the family and know that she was very loved! Christina
