Janice was a loving wife and caring mother, grandmother and sister. She was a simple lady who enjoyed the simplest things in life, but her greatest joy was her family. With a big heart and sweet spirit, Janice loved everybody and was always willing to help others. Janice was very proud of her family, especially her grandchildren.  They were the apple of her eyes. Being a friend to all, Janice has a strong, yet gentle and loving presence to all who were blessed to know her.  Most of all, Janice loved the Lord and served Him with all her heart. She will surely be missed but never forgotten.
