Janice will forever be remembered for her vivacity, her impish sense of humour, her curious and adventurous spirit, her courage, her tenacity,and her gorgeous copper curls. She was a loyal friend who encouraged and motivated, inspired and uplifted many people of diverse ethnicity and culture.
In December of 1991,at the young age of 24, Janice suffered a massive infection and complications led her to become the youngest and longest resident at Menno Hospital where she continued to shine her special light.
There will be a quiet interment at noon on 9 June 2022 where her siblings will lovingly lay the body that limited her to rest. Her beautiful spirit is free at last.
