Cherished time spent with family and good friends was of utmost importance to Jancie throughout her long life. Most of all she treasured the vacations shared with her children and grandchildren to Alaska, Maine, Montreal, the Southwest, and the Atlantic shores. She never shyed away from an adventure, like the plane ride she took through the Grand Canyon or building a log cabin in the woods of Maine. She enjoyed classical music and attended many opera performances and concerts in New York City or Tanglewood with dear friends. Janice adorded her six grandchildren and loved to attend their school grandparent?s days, activities and baseball games. Janice was a talented and adventuresome cook, always willing to try out a new gourmet recipes for family and dear friends. She quickly added a plate to the table to feed an extra dinner guest, always being generous. Janice always kept a pot of strong coffee on the stove and was a ready listener for friends who dropped by. She shared her opinions only when asked because she never wanted to burden anyone. Never one to leave anyone out, Janice adored her faithful four-legged friend Miz B and welcomed all of her children?s family pets into her home.
Janice left a legacy of love. She lived the values of the "Wise Woman" of Proverbs 31, always ready to answer the call of a child or friend. She sewed her quilts with love and her hands were always busy preparing a meal to welcome and nourish those who came to her home. Her children and grandchildren were blessed to have her council and grew in strength because of her love. Janice rests now from all her labors of love.
