Janice was known for her warm heart, her love for family, and her ability to make everyone feel at home. She especially loved cooking and baking for Thanksgiving at the camp with her grandchildren, fishing on quiet days, and enjoying the simple comforts of life — like her favorite Crocs and socks, and the occasional 10 oz. Miller Lite with a salted rim.

Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her, and her legacy of love, laughter, and family traditions will continue for generations to come

Her family will gather for a celebration of her life at a later time, where all who loved her will be welcome.
