After Globe Union, Janice had a many diversified professional experiences and at the time of retirement was an Executive Administrative Assistant at Ceridian. After she retired, she was an avid volunteer for the Elmbrook Humane Society, where she would take dogs to pet store locations around the area to be showcased for adoption. To her family's surprise, on the first day of volunteering, she adopted the family's 3rd dog, Shatzie. She also enjoyed supporting other causes that helped those who were less fortunate. Janice never met a person she didn't like. She found it easy to make friends and had a beautiful smile that drew everyone to her. Her family was the most important thing to her. As the years went on, her marriage to her loving husband grew even stronger. She was also active in the lives of her children and grandchild, always offering encouragement, a listening ear, and emotional support through the triumphs and challenges of each of their lives. The family wants to especially thank Mary with ProHealth Hospice, who showed exceptional care and compassion for Janice during her final stay at home. Visitation Friday at the LATVIAN LUTHERAN EV.
