Janice enjoyed travelling and Switzerland was one of the many trips she was on. She enjoyed playing golf and bowled at Bilgrien’s Lanes in Iron Ridge as part of the Lady’s League. Many fun times and memories were made there.

Janice attended shows and plays at The Fireside in Fort Atkinson. In her younger years, she enjoyed gardening and tending to her flower beds. Janice was meticulous with her lawn upkeep, and it always looked so nice.
