He is survived by his daughter Cindy Gellinger (husband Mark), son Steve (wife Anita), granddaughter Robin Gellinger, and grandson Corey Gellinger. He was preceded in death by his wife Louise in February of 1988.

At age 5, Travis’ family migrated from Arizona to the Twin Oaks Valley (San Marcos). Travis attended grade school in a one-room schoolhouse in Twin Oaks from 1936 to 1943. He graduated from Escondido High School in 1948, then received his AA degree from Palomar College. After 2 years in the U.S. Army, he attended Biola College in Los Angeles, where he met Louise Ward, of Oakland, California. They were married on February 26, 1955.

Throughout his years in Escondido, Travis was very involved in the music ministry at Emmanuel Faith Community Church.

In 1996, Travis moved north to Nevada City, California, to be close to his son Steve and daughter-in-law Anita. Travis kept active, singing in the church choir, going to the gym several times a week, and meeting up with friends for lunch.

In his later years, when asked how he was doing, Travis would usually say he was “Fantastic!” He would often quote the verse in II Corinthians, chapter 4, verse 16, which says, “Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.” There is no doubt that he truly lived this, and that he was looking forward to an eternity in Heaven with his Savior, Jesus Christ.

Obituary for Janice Bagwell
A Time to Be Born
Janice Bagwell entered this world on February 18, 1946 in Baltimore, Maryland. Janice was
the fourth eldest of twelve children born to the late Nathaniel and Esther Johnson. Janice grew up in South Baltimore and lived all of her adult life in West Baltimore.

A Time to Learn
Janice was educated in the Baltimore City Public Schools System where her love for reading and watching educational documentaries were expanded. In 1964, Janice graduated from Edmondson High School with a major in Business Education. When her formal education ended, Janice continued to have an enthusiasm for learning and acquiring new and interesting information. She would often call relatives and friends to share what she learned.

A Time to Work
Upon graduating from Edmondson High School, Janice began her career at Carr Lowrey’s
Glass Company. Janice was a valuable member of the organization and made many significant contributions to ensure the overall effectiveness of accounts and customer needs were addressed. Janice remained as a dedicated and integral member at Carr Lowery’s for thirty-five years before retiring in 2001.

A Time for Love and Family
In 1965, Janice married the late Vernon M. Harris and from this union they were blessed
with one son, Vernon K. Harris, whom she affectionately named “sweet chocolate”. Janice
loved her son dearly and devoted an endless amount of time and showering him with love
and attention and establishing an eternal and loving bond. Janice was Vernon’s “No. 1 girl”
and they spent time together each day.

As life sometimes happens, the union between Janice and Vernon M dissolved and she met the late James “Jimmy” Ernest Bagwell. After a loving courtship the two decided to marry in 1977. With still more love to share, Janice and Jimmy decided to expand their family and were blessed to welcome a beautiful daughter, Tashia Bagwell. Janice loved Tashia and often said “this was the daughter that I always wanted”. And Tashia loved her “Janny-Pooh”.

They were the best of friends and often had long talks about many different topics. Most of the time, those talks ended with Janice’s favorite saying “Mommy knows best” and Tashia would eventually agree. Janice and Tashia loved to go shopping together and would always say “let’s just go in one store” but quickly that one turned into many as they laughed and ended their day with a bite to eat—usually a sandwich from Subway. Janice enjoyed being a mother and dedicated her life to ensuring that Vernon and Tashia understood the value of family and the importance of siblings always supporting
each other.

A Time to Choose God
Janice accepted Christ and received her Christian education at a young age. She became an active and dedicated member of Evergreen African Methodist Episcopal Church. During her time as member of Evergreen AME, Janice served the Lord and participated in a number of ministries including Pastor’s Aide, Women’s Day Committee, Outreach Committee, Women’s Ministry and Ministry for Senior Citizens. Janice grew as a Christian and deepened her understanding of God’s word through the leadership and friendship of Dr. M. Ruth Travis. Once Dr. Travis retired, Janice joined the St. Paul Institutional Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Kobi Robertson where she continued her spiritual growth. Janice looked forward to Sunday worship and weekly fellowship with Pastor Kobi and the members of St. Paul Institutional Baptist Church.

A Time for an Earthly Farewell
Janice departed this life on Wednesday, September 16, 2020. Janice fought valiantly until
she slipped away. Janice enjoyed the simple things in life, planting and tending to a beautiful garden, shopping for a bargain, using her creative talents to enhance the home lively conversation with family, friends and neighbors. Janice would meet strangers and within five minutes they would share their entire life story with her.

Leaving some people to say she had a “PhD in common sense.” Janice has earned her crown and was lovingly welcomed into the arms of her savior. Janice leaves to cherish her memory one son, Vernon K. Harris, Baltimore, MD; one daughter, Tashia M. Bagwell, Baltimore, MD, one grandson, Brandon L. Sells, two granddaughters Milan N. Harris and Ryann A. Smith (all of Baltimore, MD) one sister-in law; Harriet E.
