She worked in the restaurant, banking and insurance fields successfully through the years. She loved cooking, crafting, Mariachi music and taking care of her beautiful garden. Family and friends loved to sit with her and share a cup of coffee in this cozy spot.  Janice’s annual English Tea Party in her rose filled garden was the highlight of many people’s year.

She was a caring and compassionate woman who adored her children and granddaughter and she was the primary caretaker for her brother Larry.

Janice is survived by her loving husband Javier of Kenosha and by her daughters, Soila (Russell) Lopez-Guerra and Sara (David Kless) Lopez and her granddaughter Lena Lopez.
