Janice attended the schools of Elkins and marched in the Elkins Junior High School and Elkins High School bands. Following her graduation from Elkins High School, she attended Parkersburg West Virginia Business School and later attended numerous banking courses.

After returning home to Elkins, she worked for American Finance and later Citizens National Bank of Elkins, where she retired after 44 years of employment. She enjoyed working with all the great employees at the bank.

Janice loved her Lord first and working with the children and teens at Elkins First Church of the Nazarene, where she was a member. Janice prayed for them every day. She always told them that her home was always open to them and she would welcome them with an open heart. Her greatest joy was playing the piano and organ for her Lord in church.

Janice and her husband, Jeff, along with Jim and Eleanor Fletcher loved to load the teens in the van and camper and take them places in and out of the state of West Virginia.

The family will receive friends from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Monday, July 29, 2024, at the Elkins First Church of the Nazarene. A funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. Monday from the church with Pastor Daniel Rogers officiating.

Interment will follow in the American Legion’s Little Arlington Cemetery near Elkins.
