Janice Cohen, born August 14, 1958 in Kittery, Maine, peacefully passed away in Tucson on December 23, 2023 after bravely battling cancer.   She is survived by her husband Steve, son Zachary (Stephanie) Cohen, daughter Natasha (Craig) McTaggart, mother Shirley Williamson, sister Kelli Vegors, and brothers Dan & Kevin Williamson.   She was predeceased by her father, Robert Williamson.  Jan so much loved her family and her three beautiful grandchildren, CJ, Ariyah and Kate. They were the lights of her life. Jan was a graduate of the University of Arizona.  She worked primarily as an oncology nurse, with the last several years of her career as a cancer research nurse. Jan provided the highest standard of care with warmth and compassion. She will be tremendously missed by her many friends and family who all loved her.  Those wishing to make a donation in her memory, Jan's preference is PSC Partners seeking a Cure.

My deepest sympathies to all of Jan's darling family. I am so so sorry for your loss. Jan was one of the first research nurses I met when I started working at the cancer center 15 yrs ago. She was such a delight! So good with patients and one can tell she loved her job. Sending so much love and peace to all. My sincere condolences to all of the family.
