Jani Herrell was a loving mother, sister, friend, and nurse. Jani
passed away on June 2, 2021 at the age of 45 after a courageous battle
with cancer, surrounded by loved ones who will continue to honor her
legacy by living their lives to the fullest. She was born to Sheila
Skinner and James Hughes on July 2, 1975.

"Nurse Jani" graciously served her community as a family nurse
practitioner, and worked at NextCare Urgent Care since 2016. She
fought on the front lines during the covid-19 pandemic and always
offered an optimistic smile to those in her care.

The very definition of love and light, Jani made friends everywhere
she went. Her infectious laugh and passion for life touched the hearts
of many, and she was always ready to lend a helping hand. Everybody
knows that the party never started until Jani walked in; her famous
Halloween parties and Jeep rides remain some of my fondest memories
with this free-spirited woman. She was a mother to many, defining the
phrase "it takes a village."

Jani encouraged many to follow their dreams, aiding in the creation of
Maggie's Lab Cab and mentoring countless young women, including her
own sister, during their journeys through nursing school. She worked
tirelessly to provide education to her daughters. There aren't enough
words to describe the impact Jani had on those around her and the joy
she so effortlessly brought to the world.

She is survived by "her babies" Aubry and Abby Herrell.

A celebration of life is scheduled for 6pm on July 17, 2021 at the La
Paz County Boating Safety Facility.

Services were entrusted to the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home.
