Janice was a women that left a lasting impression on many people. Her thoughtfulness, friendly personality, compassion of others,  love of her family and friends will be remembered by all.  I will miss our talks, going to lunch and the phone calls and texts we shared. Throughout the years you became someone very special to me and will be missed more then words can say. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. 

I have so many  beautiful memories of mom it's hard to narrow them down. My favorite, though, include times when we've traveled together.  I LOVED driving to Florida with her, Lori and Ronnie when he was 2.  I liked to drive and she didn't...perfect combination for a good road trip. We shared music and laughter.  I also loved taking her to visit my Aunt Donna in Newaygo.  Aunt Donna's house was my favorite place in the world to visit and I was so happy to bring her there.  Our last big trip was in Canada. We rented 2 cottages on the same property. She LOVED roasting marshmallows while looking at Lake Huron from our backyard.  She appreciated the simple things, and taught me so much about life.  I miss her so much and it hasn't even hit home all the way yet that she's gone.

When I was a young girl of 11 I met Janice. She was pregnant with Shawn and I so wanted to be a babysitter. I started spending time at the house and helping out. Janice let me help care for Shawn and when I was old enough she had me babysit for Shawn and then Lori as well. The Merritt house was my second home and when I was missing my mother always knew to check there first!  
Janice was such a kind, cheerful and supportive person. She helped shape me into the person I became.  I am so grateful for having her presence in my life.

Janice, was the most gracious person I know, she always had a smile on her. She belonged to the St. Thecla Bible class for years, she always had great information on the readings we were doing for that Sunday, her & Lori attended many Alpha sessions, she also volunteered for the food pantry , for years after Sister Ann left & Fr. Mark took it over , he started the Bible class & intiated  4 of us girls to volunteer for it.  When we would have dessert at Bible class or the Pantry, she always loved taking some home for Roger. I never heard heard say a negative thing about anyone or anything, she was just a wonderful person, who is a wonderful Angel now. 

Janice was a kind and calm spirit. She was so generous of her time with visitations to my cousin Alan while recovering in hospital and in the nursing home back when we were allowed to visit! She will be missed. I am so sorry for the loss of Janice

It was an honor to have met Janice. She was a wonderful lady with a beautiful heart. I will miss the heartfelt messages I received from her from time to time. May she rest in peace. 

Janice came into my life late, we are cousins who through the years had not known each other. Through Ancestry we reconnected and shared  many of our old family memories, and visited, though not enough. Rest in Peace Janice, you will be greatly missed by all the lives You have touched. My heartfelt Condolences to the Family. Sherry(Jackson)Scruggs.


My best memories of Janice were from the times when we were young and growing up.  She and her sister Janet spent many visits with my family.  She was always the sweetest person and always tried to be the peace maker of the three of us.  To her husband, son, daughter, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, brother and sister I send my heartfelt condolences.  I will miss her very much.  I am confident that she is with the angels.  Rest In Peace cousin dearest.
