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.

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.

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.
