Josie Renell Daniels

James & Sikes Funeral Home Maddox Chapel Josie Renell Tipton Daniels, after an extended illness, passed away peacefully at her residence on Sunday, November 27, 2011. She was 75 years of age. She was born and raised in the Two Egg-Dellwood community of Jackson County, but lived most of her life in Marianna. She retired from the State of Florida Department of Corrections in 1998, after 24 years of dedicated service. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Dorothy Myrtle Tipton of the Two Egg community, and one sister, Jerry Tipton Rogers, formerly of Ozark, Alabama. She is survived by her husband, Frank Daniels; one daughter, Lisa Daniels Nowell and her husband Don, all of Marianna; one sister, Myra Tipton Simmons of Orlando, Florida; one grandson Don Alexander (Alex) Nowell of Panama City, Florida, several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and a host of cousins. "Jo", as she was known to many, enjoyed gardening, cooking, eating out with the "girls", and she loved her family dearly, especially her husband of 56 years. She was a Jehovah's witness in which she especially loved and deeply respected her faith. A graveside service will be held on Thursday, December 1 at 10 a.m. at Pinecrest Memorial Gardens with Jehovah's Witness Elder Dale Harris officiating, and James and Sikes Funeral Home directing. The family will receive friends at visitation on Wednesday, November 30, from 5-7 p.m. at the funeral home. Flowers will be accepted, or donations may be made to Emerald Coast Hospice of Marianna.

Gay, and the wonderful staff of Emerald Coast Hospice.
