So sad to read of Janice’s passing. I worked with her in the dietary office at Juneau. I remember her generous heart when she gave us something from her parents home in Waupun that no one needed, when we needed it for our son. We had a great time on a “work” trip to Chicago, a fun weekend eating and laughing. You were so lucky to have her for a family member. You are in our prayers. Peggy and Duane Ketter…Mayville
To Janice’s family: I worked at Ripon Medical Center with Janice and I remember her hearty laugh. Later, we attended a book club in Waupun together. She was enjoyable person and so sorry for her family. Sue Peschke
Our deepest SYMPHATHY to Janices family.
Ute Hauschild and family.
Janice was a lovely human being – interesting, funny and full of
heart. There was no pretension to her, always herself and genuine. I wish we had stayed more in touch. The last time I saw
her was in Waupun. She, Gail and I went to the Mill Pond and the End of the Trail Sculpture and took pictures, reminisced and
had such a nice time. Goodbye dear friend. Gardie Dalton
