Janice and I were friends at Mercy College in Detroit. I still remember her moving into the dorm with trunks of clothes, more than any other students. She kept her blond hair long and wore a headband everyday. One time around Easter, she wore a one piece pajama complete with rabbit ears and claimed she was the Easter bunny! She was fun to be around and always up for a good time.

I met Jan many years ago in the Junior League. I have the fondest memories of a bright, caring and unassuming woman who had goodness in her heart at all times.
Please accept our condolences at this saddest of times. We hope with the passage of time and the support of family and friends you all will soon be able to focus on many memories that will warm your hearts.
Sincerely,
Andrea & Irv Kern

As Janice's oldest Turlick cousin it is hard to believe that such a vibrant soul is gone so soon. My deepest sympathy to Bill Kipp and family on the loss of Janice. She was a loving and devoted daughter, wife, mother and grandmother. She was an inspiration to others. God keep her in His Mercy.

Deepest sympathy to Bill and his family. Janice and I shared many happy times at Mercy College of Detroit. She was instrumental in my meeting my husband. I will always remember her fun loving
ways and her sense of style.

I remember, with so much admiration, how kind and caring Jan was to her parents, which I witnessed whenever I visited Gert and John, when they needed care and concern. For me, it was an opportunity to get to know Jan better - not just as a daughter of friends, but as a caring, kind person. I know her family will miss her, and I want to expresss my deep sympathy, and that of all the Fox family. Madeleine Fox, Shelton, CT
