| 13083 | Niagara Gazette CONCORD, NC — Janelle Katherine (Fuerch) Eads, 61, of Concord, NC, entered eternal life on Wednesday, July 7, 2010, surrounded in love, with her husband and family at her side. Janelle was born on August 26, 1948, in Niagara Falls, NY to Ronald W. and Edytha E. Fuerch, who predeceased her. Janelle worked at Airco, Inc. in Niagara Falls until 1978, when she followed her dream and moved south, first to South Carolina, and then to Atlanta, GA. There, she married her husband, John Roger Eads in 1980. While Roger pursued his career in the textile industry (often relocating), Janelle took various jobs. Then, in 1985, she accepted a position at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. Working first in financial aid, she met many students with little financial resources. Soon, she was bringing them home for meals, laundry, support, et cetera. What happened next was inevitable. She gave her beloved students a home, five of them over a four-year period: No rent; no board; just a home. Today, those students are her family. When Roger moved with his employer to Charlotte, NC, Janelle gave up her job at ECU. In 2001, she was selected as an executive assistant with her present employer, Joe Gibbs Racing. As she would say many times thereafter, "My life was changed forever!" "Where else, she would say, does a company owner have team meetings and personally pray with his people?" The week before Janelle died, Joe prayed with her again. One of her last wishes was that people would, in lieu of sending flowers to her memorial service, donate to the Taylor Gibbs' fundraiser for Make A Wish Foundation of Western North Carolina, 12 S. Tryon Street, Suite 1080, Charlotte, NC 28281, and the Levine Children's Hospital, 1000 Blythe Boulevard, Charlotte, NC 28203-5812. Please be sure to include the address of the family or individual that needs to be acknowledged. Janelle is survived by her loving and much-loved husband, John Roger Eads; her beloved sister and brother, Carol A. (Thomas) Hughes and William R. Fuerch, both of Sanborn, NY; many nieces and nephews; her college family, as well as her many pets, all of whom will miss her cheerful sense of humor, endless generosity and love. Memorial services to celebrate Janelle's life were first on Tuesday, July 13th at 4:00 PM at Joe Gibbs Racing Headquarters in Huntersville, NC. Thereafter, a memorial service will be held in her hometown of Bergholz, NY at Holy Ghost Lutheran Church, 3030 Luther Street (Bergholz), Niagara Falls, NY on Sunday, July 25, 2010 at 4:00 PM.
