It is with grieving hearts that we announce the passing of Janice, beloved spouse and Mum, on Monday, September 8th, 2025 at the age of 71 peacefully in the sunshine.
Janice lived a life filled with creativity, kindness and devotion to family. As a lifelong lover of arts, Janice embraced many different forms and eras of artistic expression throughout her journey including piano, sewing/quilting, painting (tole, watercolour and Chinese). Her talents leave us with many glimpses of her soul through her paintings and comforting hugs through her quilts. Her spirituality was constantly evolving and was a guiding force throughout her life.
Above all, Janice was devoted to her family. Beloved spouse of Michael whom was always by her side. Janice enjoyed bringing silliness to their relationship to the very end. Amazing mother of Vanessa (Peter), Philip, Conor (Lam) and Alison (Aaron). Janice cherished family gatherings at her home filled with lots of food, laughter and games. The many traditions she shared will continue to be passed down to her grandchildren. Loving Bubbie to Miranda, Hailey, Jaxson, Ada, Jana, Sloane and Cillian (January 2026). She will be dearly missed by her siblings Joan (deceased), Barb, Susan, Jim, Rhonda and many extended family and friends.
Our family is in deep gratitude to The Meadows Long-Term Care Home in Ancaster where she lived starting in June 2022 as the Parkinson’s and Ataxia progressed. The staff’s love, care and compassion was always comforting to witness.
Janice always had an infectious smile and zest for life. She will be remembered with deep love and her spirit will remain a blessing for her family.
Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will be held at a later date.
