Janice Carlson Obituary
Born in Middletown and raised in Cromwell, Janice lived in Wallingford for 50 years. After graduating from Cromwell High School, she attended secretarial school and began her career working for the Atomic Energy Commission and later for NASA during the 1960s. She went on to serve in various roles for the Wallingford Board of Education.
A devoted wife and mother, Janice, was deeply involved in her sons' lives, serving as Den Mother in their Cub Scout packs and helping to organize many Wallingford TWIST soccer tournaments. She loved traveling with her husband, enjoying many memorable trips to Cape Cod, Atlantic City, Aruba, and numerous cruises with their close group of friends. Janice was a proud and loving grandmother who rarely missed a school, sporting, or scouting event.
Janice is survived by her sons and daughters-in-law, James and Patricia (Young) Carlson and Wayne and Stephanie (Traskos) Carlson, all of Middletown; her grandchildren John, Benjamin, Nicholas, Daniel, Melissa, and Jacob Carlson; her brother, Gerald Groeper; her sister-in-law, Barbara (Carlson) Bartalotta; and nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
The family would like to thank the staff at The Atrium at Rocky Hill and The Residence at Ferry Park for their compassionate care of our mom.
Calling hours will be held on Thursday, November 13, from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. at Cromwell Funeral Home, 506 Main Street, Cromwell. A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 10:30 a.m. at St. John Church, 5 St. John Court, Cromwell. Burial will take place at Cromwell Hillside Cemetery West.
