Janice Marie DeRouen passed away peacefully on August 6, 2025, at the age of 90, surrounded by love. In her last days, she was cared for with tenderness and compassion by her son and daughter-in-law, the Carnelian staff, and East Bay hospice team who ensured her comfort and peace. Born in St. Martinville, Louisiana, Janice's life was rooted in family, faith, and resilience. After marrying her devoted husband, Albert W. DeRouen III, she embraced her role as a loving wife and mother, raising four children with devotion and grace. Together, she and Albert built a life filled with hard work and shared dreams. Janice will be remembered for her warm heart, quiet strength, and her unwavering love for her family. She is survived by her daughter Yvette, her son Andre, and many grandchildren who were touched by her kindness. She is reunited in peace with her husband Albert III as well as her sons Albert IV and Michael. "Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day."
