Janice you were a friend, GS sister and coworker. We may not have spoken in several years but I often thought of you and your smile. We had some great times as volunteers and staff. RIP my friend, until we meet again. You are now a Green Angel

I will always remember Jan as my longtime friend who lived a few houses away from me for 30+ yrs. She was a beautiful person with a good heart. I helped sell her Avon in my in-home beauty shop, we were both beauticians & Italian which bonded us even more. You will be missed and we pray for your family. We will remember you and you're family for years to come and we will think of you all lovingly every time we pass your house. Love, Rose Walters (Farina) & daughter Angela Walters

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. Jan was one of my Girl Scout leaders and my years in her troop were so much fun. I have so many fond memories of those times with not only Jan but the whole family. She was well loved on life and will be remembered for her kind heart and laugh!

Janice was one of the first GS staff people I met when I signed up to be a volunteer. She was always there with a kind word and encouraging smile. When I moved into my first staff role, she became a great sounding board, and lifted me when I thought I was failing at my job. Thank you, Janice for all your wisdom. I have never forgotten the lessons I have learned from you.
