Aunt Janice will be greatly missed. Always enjoyed our visits. Will miss her at the reunions selling bingo tickets. My thoughts & prayers to Ricky & Gina & the rest of the family.
I always adored Janice and always enjoyed when she and my cousin Rich came to visit mom. Mom really loved her and I didn’t realize until reading her obituary that Janice and my mom were born in the same month in 1930, just 24 days apart. Janice was always smiling and such a beautiful person inside and out. Wonderful memories. Condolences to Ricky and the entire family.
We all will miss aunt Janice’s smiling face. We will continue to keep Rick, Gina, and family in our thoughts and prayers. A few years ago I had the opportunity to take aunt Janice around to the cemeteries and really enjoyed listening to her tell us about our family history. I also had the opportunity to go to the bingo hall a few times with her and my mother. Hopefully they will be playing bingo together in heaven. Robert and Lisa Swiger Jr.
