New London - Janice (Betsey) Lasenberry, 51, of 54 Laurel Drive, New London, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012.
She was born on Jan. 2, 1961 to Sarah Jane Zeigler and Willie Betsey in Quincy, Fla. She graduated from New London High School in 1979. In 2000, Janice surrendered to God while forming her final covenant with Jesus and secured her everlasting relationship with her sweet Savior. She was a faithful member of Pentecostal Rescue Mission C.O.G.I.C. under the leadership of Pastor Nathaniel Scott Sr. She served as the church clerk, the first greeter's committee president for over 10 years, florist committee, assistant Sunday school secretary, pastor aide board, Sunshine Band helper in the early 90's, vacation bible school teacher, assistant director to PRM adult choir, the last president of the women's choir, and founder of Pastor Scott's class choir 5-4. Janice fought an honorable fight.
A celebration of life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, at Trinity Missionary Baptist Church, 60 Blackhall St., New London. Relatives and friends may call from 9 a.m. until the time of service at the church. Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations in memory of Janice Lasenberry to Kidney Patients of Westerly at 1 Rhody Drive, Westerly, RI 02891 or 54 Laurel Drive, New London.
Arrangements are entrusted to the Lester Gee Funeral Home 108 Blinman St., New London.

I know Janice's family/friends will deeply miss her and her lively spirit.
I knew Janice when we worked together at Electric Boat and she was full of life and always made me smile each day we worked together. When we were first introduced, I thought her name was Betsy and it took weeks before someone told me her name was Janice. We laughed about it and I still do to this day.
Again, I am sorry for your lost and know that she will be watching you all from above.
