Janice Ardesia Bullock

On Friday, December 15, 2023 our sweet sister Janice Ardesia Bullock was called home and entered into eternal rest. Janice was the youngest daughter of the late Jim Edward and Rosa Lee Bullock. Janice was born May 5, 1971. She will be missed by so many that she touched in her lifetime. Janice was the best sister, aunt, and friend, giving love, showing concern, and offering encouragement to all around her. Janice was educated in the Portsmouth Public School System where she maintained Honor Roll status throughout her elementary and high school years. Janice graduated with honors from I.C. Norcom High School in 1989. She continued her education at Norfolk State University where she received a B.S. Degree in Biology/Pre-Professional 1n 2000 (Yes, at one time she wanted to be a doctor). Later, she also received a Master’s Degree in Organizational Diagnosis/Human Resources in 2005 from Regent University. Janice received the Lord at an early age. She was a diligent worker and faithful servant in church, giving her time throughout the years as a choir member, nurse, and children’s church leader. Janice volunteered her free time at schools, hospitals, and community organizations. Janice worked at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard for several years as a student and later became a permanent worker, and received numerous awards and accolades for her work and time. Her career at NNSY expanded a combined 32 years and her final title was Administrative Management Specialist. Janice had a love for animals, reading, and music. She cared so much for others and her smile could make your day. We (her family) would say she had an old soul and was sometimes considered as the oldest of the Bullock girls. Janice leaves to cherish her memories: a brother Robert Edward Bullock (Tracy Wright-Bullock) of Portsmouth; and sister Lisa Bullock of Suffolk; one niece Shakeema Wright of Chesapeake; and two nephews Jonathan Bullock of Suffolk and Kasim Ruffin of Portsmouth and three great nieces and two great nephews. She was predeceased in death by one sister Mildred Annette Bullock. Also, she leaves a host of aunts, uncles, and other extended family and friends to hold her memories dear. Although Janice is no longer with us, we will never forget the love she shared, her smile that radiated her presence, her laughter that made you happy, and caring nature.
