Janice Vorro Obituary

Janice (Dennis) Vorro, of East Providence, RI and formerly Bristol, RI passed away peacefully on October 23, 2025 at the age of 79.

Born on September 11, 1946 in Fall River, MA, Janice lived a life marked by compassion, strength, and unwavering dedication to her family. After the passing of her beloved husband, Andrew, she faced life's challenges with remarkable grace and courage, raising their three children-Jennifer, Nancy and Peter -with love, faith, and determination.

Janice will be remembered for her wit, her laughter, and the kindness she shared with everyone she met. She was a devout Catholic, serving various parishes as a CCD teacher and adult sacrament instructor. Janice was also an avid reader and she loved watching Law and Order. Some of her most memorable times were spent with her husband Andy, her children, family and friends during the Bristol 4th of July festivities. Her legacy of love and humor will continue to live on in her children and the lives she touched.

She is survived by her three children, Jennifer Vorro (Judith Valentine), Nancy Vorro and Peter Vorro; her sisters Jayne Dennis (Jeffrey Skillings) and Cynthia Perry (William Perry); her nieces and nephews, her sisters in law Mary Jane Dow, Nancy E. Vorro and Elizabeth Vorro and many dear friends.

Services are with Smith Funeral & Memorial Services, 8 Schoolhouse Rd., Warren, RI 02885, where the family will receive relatives and guests for Visitation on Wednesday, October 29, 2025 from 4-6PM. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday, October 30, 2025 at 10AM in St. Mary of the Bay Church, 645 Main Street, Warren, RI 02885.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to the Lewy Body Dementia Association at www.dementiasociety.org/donate.
