Years ago through work I met a gentleman by the name of Warren Henson... He introduced me not only to the Naenae Cricket Club but also his lovely wife Janice.. I was welcomed into their home frequently especially Friday evenings after couple pints at the RSA myself and Mr. Henson would leave 6.30pm on the dot to pick up fish n chips to take home to Janice..Janice made me feel welcome and shared her home with me.. Such a loving and caring person and I especially enjoyed her garden tips and tours.. I send my sincere condolences to my dear friend Mr.Henson and the family.. Rest in piece Janice..

I knew Janice two ways - through Christ Church Taita and through Scottish Country dancing. We would have met through the latter in the late 1970s or early 1980s, maybe in 1977 when I went to my first Lower Hutt social dance. I usually tried to have a dance with Janice whenever we were at the same event. She was a good person to dance with.
After some years we found our connection through Christ Church. I became a Life Member and appreciated the newsletters that Janice would email to me, especially when I left the Wellington Region. My last email was in 2022 when Janice stepped down as Secretary.
I send my condolences to Warren and the family. I was glad to be able to attend the funeral via livestreaming and hear the tributes to Janice. A wonderful person whose service I will remember.

Such a loss ......she will be missed by so many.
My lasting memory of Janice from the office next door to her in the Education Centre of the old building at Te Omanga will be every morning hearing her sing happy birthday to volunteers on their birthday!
It was always heart warming !
She was a great woman.
My thoughts go to all the family xx

My memories of Janice, as a student at Naenae College and later, at Scottish Country Dancing, are all pleasant ones. She was unfailingly cheerful, heartwarmingly kind, and always so helpful and friendly. She met her illness with characteristic bravery. I will miss her. Condolences to her family, from Helen (also Margaret, Zoe and Alice)

I have recently joined Scottish Country Dancing. Janice was so warm, welcoming and caring of me. I very much appreciated her kindness to me. I will miss her at dancing.

Janice was one of those rare people who could get people to do anything. During her incredible work at Te Omanga Hospice I met her and did anything for her and the hospice she did so much for. I will never forget her. There will never be another like her.

Deepest sympathy to Warren and family.
I met Janice many years ago through Scottish Country Dancing and served on various committees with her. She was such a lovely lady, and a pleasure to share the dance floor with. She will be sadly missed.

So sorry to hear of Janice´s passing, she was a true gem, giving so much to all she was part of and so dedicated. It was an honour and a privilege to work with her at Te Omanga.

I remember meeting Janice when I first started volunteering at Te Omanga in 2013. She was such a loving, compassionate person who made anyone feel so, so important. When Heath & I shared our news of expecting our son, Benjamin, she was ecstatic. This is just one memory that we will carry with us.
We are sad to hear of Janice's death & send our heartfelt love to Warren & the whole family as you all remember Janice & the impact she had on so many lives, including mine.
Janice, thank you. Thank you for all your love, support & compassion over the years we have known each other. I know that you will rest in peace & that, for those left behind, this will bring comfort.
With much love & appreciation,
Elizabeth McCallum (along with Heath & Benjamin)
