Despite chronic health challenges Janice lived life with positivity and was a faithful servant of Jesus.  She successfully raised her son, pursued and career working her way up to being a sales and training director with Mary Kay Cosmetics, and later a corporate trainer with ACME Steel Corporation.  She loved being able to teach and mentor others.  She was a proud mother of a Marine Corps officer, and a loving sister and aunt, a vehement supporter of family and others in need, and absolutely loved spending time with her two granddaughters.  She was a generous, gracious, Christian lady who loved God and sought to live with integrity and honor, and treat others with the respect, love, and friendship as Jesus calls us to do.
