Janice worked at Galion Community Hospital and Mansfield General Hospital, as well as for Dr. B.M. Mansfield throughout her career. She was a very active individual. Janice was involved in Meals on Wheels, volunteered for Hospice, was on the Board of Trustees for Crawford County Council of Aging, worked as a precinct worker and office clerk for the Crawford County Board of Elections and was a member of the Order of Eastern Star- Naomi Chapter 47. Janice was a member of First United Methodist Church, where she was a member of the choir for more than 50 years, the bell choir, the United Methodist Women Martha Circle and was a Sunday School teacher for many years.

In addition to her parents and husband, Janice was preceded in death by her daughter, Melanie Casey and her brother, Franklin King.
Janice’s family will observe a private family service, with burial to follow in Fairview Cemetery.
Instead of flowers and memorial contributions, Janice’s wish was that everyone would take a spouse, relative or friend to lunch or dinner, and tell them all the things we often wished we would have said to them before they passed.
