Janice Janosi Obituary
Grosse Pointe Woods - Janice Mathilde Janosi, age 89, of Grosse Pointe Woods, passed away on Monday, April 20, 2020 after a long illness. She was born in Budapest, Hungary to Jozsef and Maria Pataki. She earned a degree in Agricultural Engineering. While earning her degree, she met her future husband, Zoltan Janosi (who was a teacher at the University). After graduation, she and Zoltan were married. In October of 1956, the Hungarian Revolution caused the Janosi's to escape to Austria and eventually to the United States. They settled in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI. Janice taught Biology at Grosse Pointe North High School until her retirement in 1994. She is survived by her husband: Zoltan; son: Nicholas (Julia); and grandchildren: Nichole and Alex.

She had a profound impact on my life possibly the best teacher I ever had period. I can't believe she's gone. Her life story is inspirational and yes she had a very funny sense of humor I'll never forget her telling us we were in her class because "you're the cream of the crop" in her accent such an inspiration.

Mrs Janosi taught me biology in 10th grade. I still remember learning photosynthesis from her. I am now running cancer immunotherapy clinical trials and i owe my career to her passionate teaching that spurred my interest in biological sciences. She has probably improved the lives of an uncountable number of people. We need more people like Mrs Janosi, now more than ever.

Your mom/grandmother was my teacher in 9th grade. She was one of my favorite teachers. I am so sorry for your loss. Id like to think my teaching style was influenced by her. No nonsense but supportive and very caring.

Loved this woman. The ultimate teacher who inspired many careers. A little dynamo of a woman who got the best out of her students. She secretly had a great sense of humor behind that mask. I worked at North when she was there and was so glad my daughter was able to have her for biology, physiology and microbiology before she retired.
