Janice had a passion spending time outdoors walking and immersing herself with nature. She was an avid Red Sox fan. Over the years she traveled to Italy and France with her friends. She was a loving and kind woman. She loved swimming and she played ice hockey for many years. Janice enjoyed practicing yoga and meditation and would often go on retreats at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Stockbridge, MA. Her favorite treat was the ultra-dark chocolate bars from Trader Joes.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Benchmark Senior Living in Waltham, MA for their kindness, compassion, and care, as well as the Caring Hospice Staff that made her life more comfortable in her last few days.
