Jana Lynn Mccaslin Mccarthy

October 24, 1962 — December 12, 2008

Jana Lynn McCaslin McCarthy, 46, of Dover, entered in to a much more perfect joy with the Heavenly Father, Friday, Dec. 12, 2008, after a hard-fought battle with cancer.

Born, Oct. 24, 1962, in Jacksonville, FL, she was a daughter of Edyth Yackey McCaslin of Dover, and the late Robert E. McCaslin. Jana graduated from Dover High School in 1980, went on to earn her Associate's Degree in nursing from Kent State University. Along the way, she worked for McDonald's Restaurants in both Dover and New Philadelphia, and Buehler's Food Market in Dover. She ultimately became a registered nurse employed by Maxim Healthcare of Canton.

Jana loved being a nurse. Her position allowed her to travel and interact with all kinds of patients whom she cared for deeply. She was fun-loving, full of life, and never met a stranger - always looking for the good in people. And she could also be a pain in the butt.

Jana's daughters, Chelsea Marie Buckley and Markie Kate McCarthy, both of Dover, were truly the light of her life. In addition to them, and her mother Edyth (who is also a registered nurse), she is survived by a sister, Christy McCaslin of Dover; two brothers, Bob (Rhonda) McCaslin, also of Dover, and Dan (Mary) McCaslin of Hilliard; nieces and nephews, Tabbitha and Jason Dupler, Alisha, Bo, Caitlin and Jace McCaslin, and Sarah, Sean and Sheila McCaslin; special friends, Dorothy Landis of Dundee, Kelly Wallick of Dover, and Cherie Immel of Sugarcreek; and a host of other friends and loved ones.

A memorial service for Jana will be held Tuesday, Dec. 16, at 7 p.m., in the Toland-Herzig Funeral Home and Crematory, Dover, with Pastor Dixie Hendricks of First Fruits Church in Minerva officiating. A private committal of her cremated remains will take place at a later date in Dover Burial Park. Family and friends are invited to call at the funeral home on Tuesday, 5 7 p.m. To sign an online guestbook and share a fond memory of Jana, please visit the funeral home's Web site and click on Obituaries.

Instead of flowers, contributions are suggested to the Jana Lynn McCaslin McCarthy Benefit Fund in care of The Citizens Bank, 2909 N. Wooster Ave., Dover, OH 44622, in order to help the family with expenses.

God's Promise
God didn't promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow
or sun without rain.
But God did promise
strength for the day,
comfort for the tears
and a light for the way.
And for all who believe
in His kingdom above,
He answers their faith
with everlasting love.
