Janice loved to travel. She was on
vacation in Greece on 9/11. Travel restrictions
forced her to go to Italy to wait to return home.
She enjoyed visiting a friend in Thailand, and had
traveled throughout the United States.
Her great passion was thoroughbred horse racing. She
had traveled to a number of the major US racetracks. She enjoyed
visiting the many horse farms in the Lexington, KY, area to see the
great race horses she loved.
She always had a smile and never met a stranger. She was blessed
with many close friends and will be missed by all who knew and loved
her.
She was of the Methodist faith.
Memorials may be made to Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Farm
and should be mailed Quiram-Peasley Funeral Home, PO Box 550,
Atlanta, IL 61723.
Final arrangements are entrusted with Quiram-Peasley Funeral Home of
