Janice May Prentice, 66 of Newcomerstown, passed away peacefully on March 3, 2026 at her residence.

Janice was born September 21, 1959, in Cambridge to Harold Hall and Linda (Gibson) Williams.

She loved animals and enjoyed horseback riding and fishing. She also liked playing games, specifically the gambling machines. Above all, she loved spending time with her grandchildren.

She is survived by her daughter Sarah Moyer (Shawn Laughlin); her mother Linda Williams; her grandchildren Blake, Michael, and Riley; her step-granddaughter Delilah Laughlin; and her sisters Barbara Gadd and Patricia (Jim) Womack.

Janice was preceded in death by her loving husband Joe Prentice, and her father Harold Hall.
