She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She is survived and remembered by many loved ones, first and foremost her loving husband Roy.

Janice was also blessed with countless lifelong friendships.
Janice was a lifelong member of St. Joseph Parish of Mishawaka and served many years in various capacities at the school where all three of her children attended. She was a devoted wife, mother, and proud grandmother. She understood the importance of faith and values. It was important for her that her children receive a Catholic education. Her children are thankful for the foundation, and the principles she instilled in them.
Janice was a loyal Notre Dame fan, particularly fond of football and women's basketball, rarely missing a game. She was also an avid golfer, proud to have attained a whole in-one in her golf career. Janice was an excellent cook and was well-known for her homemade noodles and the Jesus' birthday cakes that she made with her grandchildren every Christmas. She was also known for her decorating ability and wallpaper-hanging skills, assisting many friends and family members with her talent throughout the years.
Janice had an impact on all that knew her. She will be remembered and missed by all her family and friends but will never be forgotten.
