Janice Schmerse moved in with God on August 16, 2022. She was a loving wife to Howard, devoted mother to her daughters Tina and Wendy and dedicated grandmother to Josh. She was an active member of Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church.
Howard and Janice shared 65 years as husband and wife until his passing in 2021. They both loved to travel, as they visited Europe, took several cruises to the Caribbean and family camping trips to Yosemite, Yellowstone and Silent Valley.
Janice also enjoyed entertaining and there was frequently a house full of guests. She loved cooking and crafting and would bake dozens of cookies at Christmas time to gift. Her favorite time of year was Halloween and Christmas, where she would decorate the house and hand out candy to the kids.
She will be missed.
