Janice Bicchieri Polito, formerly of Medford, MA, Dunwoody, Georgia and most recently of Baltimore, Maryland, passed away on July 10th. She was the beloved wife of Bob Polito for 28 years.
Janice was the cherished daughter of Donald E. Bicchieri and the late Diane P. (Donovan) Bicchieri. She was the dear sister of Susan Bicchieri and the late Nancy E. (Bicchieri) DeMarco, and sister-in-law to Lou DeMarco. She was a caring aunt to Lyndsey and Louis DeMarco, and to Joseph Rosato and his wife Kristen. She was also a loving great-aunt to Bella Rosato.
Janice was a devoted sister-in-law to Janet Polito (Mario Gonzalez), Vincent Polito (Eileen Polito), and the late Jim Polito. She was a loving "bonus mother" to Christian and Francesca Polito, Bob's children.
Professionally, Janice was a valued member of the Baltimore business community for 27 years. She spent 18 of those years with KPMG, where she supported the office's managing partners and associates, frequently working with local business leaders on behalf of the firm. She later held roles with Medifast, SIA Solutions, and most recently Innovim, where she worked in conjunction with NOAA, supporting the Space Weather Observatory office.

I am absolutely heartbroken as I write this. Janice was one of my "big sisters," both professionally and in real life. She helped me navigate difficult times, laughed so hard at our inside jokes, and made countless amazing memories. She was the very best. She left me, and countless others, better than she found us. Love you so much, JB. See you on the other side. PG.

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I learned of the passing of our colleague and friend, Janice Bicchieri.

Janice joined INNOVIM in 2020, and from the very beginning, I was struck by her professionalism, gentle demeanor, and boundless energy. Working with her was both an honor and a joy.

As she bravely faced her battle with lung cancer, Janice demonstrated a level of grace, strength, and resilience that deeply moved and inspired us all.

She was a true treasure, and her loss is felt deeply across our company. My heartfelt condolences go out to her husband, Bob, and to their entire family.

May her memory be a blessing.

I can hardly believe I´m writing this. It´s taken me some time to find the right words, because it just doesn´t feel fair that someone as incredible as Janice could be gone so soon. In the short time I had the privilege of working with her, we quickly formed a strong friendship. Janice was not only an amazing colleague, but also a truly kind and supportive friend.

She was always there with a listening ear, never judgmental, always encouraging. During my lowest moments, she lifted me up in ways only she could. I may never understand why the best people are taken from us too soon, but I believe God must have needed an angel & he certainly received one of the best.

Janice, you will be deeply missed and remembered often. My heartfelt condolences go out to Bob and your entire family during this difficult time.

Until we meet again, your friend Amy H.

Though I never did get to meet Janice. Just being a fellow co-worker with INNOVIM in a different location. I would like to send my condolences to the family and friends who lost someone so special to them. From my family to yours.

I worked with Janice at SIA and I have many fond memories of her. Janice was witty and direct, but also had a way of connecting with people on a very personal level. She was also very smart and savvy, and knew when to be fun and inject humor into tense situations, like a project deadline. Whatever the situation or occasion, Janice was on target. We were lucky to have her on the team. It´s just so sad to hear of her passing. Our deepest condolences to Bob and the whole family throughout this difficult time. -Grant Heslin

My condolences to Bob and family. Janice was a special person who personified strength and courage. Janice was not afraid to fight to do things her own way. I admire her perseverance in her most difficult times. She will be missed.
