A loving aunt to many nieces and nephews, Janice held each of them close to her heart.

Janice grew up on Water Street in Peterborough, where she enjoyed countless gatherings with family and friends there and at nearby Inverlea Park. She attended St. Lawrence College in Kingston before beginning a long and successful career as a legal secretary. The family extends a special thank you to her long-time employer, Jim and Mary Hauraney, for their many years of support and friendship.

Janice had a deep love of horses, a passion she shared with her mother. She was known for her kindness, her humour, and her love for a good card game.

Janice lived with Multiple Sclerosis for nearly 25 years, facing her illness with remarkable strength, grace, and without complaint. She resided at Lakefield Extendicare for the past 14 years, and the family offers heartfelt thanks to the wonderful staff who cared for and befriended her throughout that time.

Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, March 14, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Ashburnham Funeral Home.
