Colonial Funeral Home of Leesburg Obituary

We bid farewell to Janice Barton Haydu who departed this world on July 24, 2024 in Ashburn Virginia surrounded by her family.


Janice was born on October 14, 1957 in Reform, Alabama.  She earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Alabama at Jacksonville State.   She met and married her husband Mark in 1985 in Pensacola, Florida.   Janice and her husband’s careers took her to many locations from Florida to California, Oregon, and Virginia.  


Throughout these relocations she remained dedicated to her children.  She volunteered at their schools and served on the PTA.  She was an assistant girl scout troop leader and baseball and soccer team mom.  Janice loved nature and camped and hiked through many national parks with her husband and children .


She walked through life with beauty and warmth and touched all she met with grace and kindness.  She met the adversity of her final illness with a gentle strength.  


Janice was preceded in death by her father William Barton.  She is survived by her husband of 38 years Mark; her son Keith and his wife Kassandrine, her daughter Hilary and her fiancé Bobby Hidy; her mother Virginia Barton; her sisters Cheryl (Scot) Parker and Joyce (Steffen) Segewitz; her brother Chris (Jennifer) Barton; and by a lifelong coterie of friends and loving extended family


In lieu of flowers, people are welcome to make donations to the American Cancer Society, a charity that was important to Janice

Not sure what to say?

From the first time I met Janice, it was clear she was an exceptionally kind, strong, and positive person. Her kind of energy is incredibly rare and special and I am glad I had the privilege of knowing her although it was only for a short time. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Keith Taylor (Lynette Taylor’s husband):
My sincere condolences to the Haydn and Barton families. Janice was one of the most cordial, friendly, warm and sweet person I have met. She had a radiant smile that would light up the room. My wife, Lynette, spoke so highly of Janice, the type person she was and how supportive she was at work at McLean Peds. She was honest, reliable, and one of the best working colleagues a person could have. As a close friend/workmate of my wife, that made me...

My mother worked with Ms. Janice for many years. She saw me grow up and was supportive of me throughout the years. Whenever I would visit their office, Ms. Janice greeted me with a warm friendly smile. Although our chats were quick, she was always kind, gracious, and encouraging to me (even when she was busy with task). Due to scheduled travel, I am unable to attend the services. However, I want the family to know how much Ms. Janice meant to our family.

Dear Mark, Keith and Hilary,
I worked with Janice for many years. Her professionalism and expertise always impressed me. Even more, her dedication to her family and friends made all who knew her feel uplifted. I came to know Hilary at work and I know Janice was the Mother of All Mothers! Loving and dedicated. At work we had many laughs and I can still hear Janice laugh. It was contagious. Janice was kind, smart, loving, a true warrior with amazing courage. Be at peace dear...

Hilary, please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your mother. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family in this difficult season.

I knew Janice long ago when her sister Cheryl and I were best friends in junior high in Reform. Janice was a sweetheart! I'm very sad for this sweet family who has lost her but I know they will see her again one day in heaven with Jesus. Praying for all of the family and friends of Janice.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your mother and may you find comfort and strength in the love and support of those around you, May God bless her soul in peace.

I met your mom at Physical Therapy with your dad. I must say she was a fighter and always had a smile on her face. It was a pleasure to have met her. Truly was an angel that brighten the room. My deepest condolences to the Haydu family, may she rest in peace.

While I didn't know Janice personally, I knew her daughter from work. Your daughter spoke of you and how much she loved you. Hilary is such a loving and kind person, clearly a testament to what a wonderful mom you were. Hilary, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family during this difficult season.
