Janice was a devoted woman of God and loved her family unconditionally. She was extremely proud to be a preacher’s wife. She worked and retired from Sears, mainly to keep up with her fashion habits. She loved purses and a good pair of high heeled shoes. Everyone enjoyed her southern cooking, especially her sweet tea and delicious dressing at Thanksgiving. She will be missed dearly by all, but we know she is the happiest she has ever been, reuniting with her husband and children.

Serving as pallbearers are Joe Gotthelf, Joe Nave, Kyle Clayton, Louis Gotthelf, Gabe Gotthelf, and Robert Marino.
