Janice graduated from Salem High School in the Class of 1955 and attended Akron University where she earned a Bachelors of Education in Biology. She also earned a Masters degree in Guidance and Counseling from Westminster College. She was a science teacher and guidance counselor at Salem Junior High and Salem High Schools (respectively) for 30 plus years where she, not only touched the lives of many students, but also the staff of Salem schools. She enjoyed traveling with her husband, daughter and grandsons with favorite destinations being Cape Cod, Outer Banks, Daytona and Las Vegas.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to Dr. Chahine and the Blood and Cancer Center in Canfield, Ohio for three years of love and care. Also, to the nurses and doctors of Salem Regional Medical Center for the wonderful care at Janice’s end of life.
