Janice enjoyed spending time up north, volunteering at St. Vincent DePaul, the Milwaukee Brewers, and polka music. To her family and friends delight she wasn’t afraid of showing her silly side. More than anything Janice loved her family. Her eldest granddaughter Terri speaks for us all, “I never left her presence or ended a phone call with her or listened to a voicemail from her that didn’t end with I love you.” We love you too, Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma.
