A South Bend, Indiana native, Janice had a love for life and everyone and everything; always a compassionate listener and a warm and loving companion. Having worked in the airline industry for numerous years, she spread her love and called home in Anchorage, AK, Tucson, AZ, Charleston, SC, Miami, FL and Raleigh, NC. A devout Christian, Janice spent years as a leader in Awana, teaching the youth in the community. She loved her Sunday School class and all the friends she made while expanding her faith. A lifelong beautician, she loved cutting hair for family and friends and had a love for crafts and knitting and would donate her work to those in need.
The family would like to thank the nurses at Hospice of the Carolina Foothills for all the love and support they provided during this time.
