Peterson and they celebrated 60 years before his passing on January 22, 2021. She graduated from LeRoy High School as salutatorian. After raising her children Janice worked at the Osceola County Courthouse for over 20 years before retiring. Friendships were very important to Janice and she still kept in touch with her many life- long friends and co workers with regular lunches and phone calls. Janice thrived in a social setting; she loved getting together or meeting up with friends to play Keno, cards or to visit. Janice and her husband, Charles took many camping trips and trips to Florida where they would meet up with friends. She also enjoyed many bus tours to different parts of the country. For many years Janice was in charge of the LeRoy Razzasque Days chicken barbeque. Although Janice loved her friends, her family was the most important to her. She supported her children throughout their younger years at sporting events and activities and always had a kind word for their teammates and friends too. Her grandchildren remember how she was there for grandparents' day, sporting events, graduation, concerts and to take care of them on any sick day. She attended the United Methodist Church of LeRoy, where she helped with the Nurture Care Committee. She is survived by her children, Al (Mary) Peterson and Paula (Ken) Justin all of LeRoy; daughter-in-law, Laura Peterson of Three Oaks; grandchildren: Raeanne, Jenna, Allie, Mac, Josh, Jamie (fiancÃƒÂ©, Maverick Martin), Julie (fiancÃƒÂ©, Kegan Brooks), Erika and great-granddaughter, Addie.
