Jana Breeden Stelly, age 60, of Port Arthur, Texas has gone to meet her Lord and Savior on Friday, August 6, 2021 after her courageous battle with cancer.
Jana was born May 17, 1961, in Houston, Texas. She attended three different high schools including, West Columbia High School, Atlanta High School and graduated from Little Cypress Mauriceville High School. She studied journalism at Sam Houston State University.
Jana was a woman with a strong Christian faith and she always put others before herself. Jana found the perfect job when she became a travel agent. She loved helping people find and plan their dream vacation. She also went on several mission trips with her church to serve others. In her spare time, Jana enjoyed vacationing with her husband and cruising with her friends. She loved going to visit her grandson, Anthony, whom she nicknamed, Tiger. Their favorite thing to do was to go to amusement parks to ride all the rollercoasters. Jana had many accomplishments in her life, but she would say her greatest accomplishment was her daughter, Tiffany.
As Jana went through her cancer journey, she never gave up on herself or her faith. She persevered through every situation and her ultimate test became her testimony. Jana's legacy will never be forgotten. We will always remember her warm smile, her words of encouragement and her gracious heart.
A visitation for family and friends will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 10, 2021 with Funeral Services to follow at 12:00 p.m. at Levingston Funeral Home in Groves.
Jana was preceded in death by both her parents, Philip and Joy Breeden; her previous husband, Robert James Vincent and her grandson, Elie Doucet.
Jana is survived by her husband and soulmate of 27 years, Robert Stelly; daughter, Tiffany Rivas Hernandez and husband Eric; step-daughters, Kimberly Stelly Doucet and husband Larry and Mette Illum Peterson and husband Jack; step-sons, Joey Vincent and wife Christian and Daniel Vincent and sister, Phyllis Breeden Pare.
Her grandchildren include Anthony Hernandez; Israel, Erika, Alisa Pastrana, Kash Doucet; Kaden and Ellie Vincent; Oliver, Oscar, Flora Illum-Peterson and nephew Michael Pare.
She will also be greatly missed by many extended family and wonderful friends.
