She is survived by her daughter, Kelly (Tom) Roseberry; grandchildren, Heather (Ian) Lintner and Travis (Marisa) Roseberry; great-grandson, Finn Roseberry; sisters, Evelyn (Donald) Fackler, Anna Myers, and Patricia Fackler; and nieces and nephews on both sides of the family.
Janice was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Tommy; brothers, Harold in infancy and Tommy; and her parents.

She liked playing dominoes and checkers with the kids and her sisters.
