The Bakersfield Californian 
Janice L. Woodruff
February 26, 1916 July 31, 2004

Entered into rest on July 31 in Bakersfield. Beloved wife of the late Roland 
S. Woodruff. Janice was born February 26, 1916. She lived in Bakersfield most 
of her life, graduated from Kern County Union High and Bakersfield Jr. 
College. She worked for the Bank of America for many years and was the first 
female officer in the Bakersfield branch. While employed at the bank, she met 
and married Roland Woodruff and their marriage was blessed with a daughter, 
Jan Woodruff Sierra. Jan lives in Bakersfield along with her three children, 
Julie Sierra, Natalie Sierra and Evan Sierra and great-granddaughter, Nicole 
Sierra. Janice was very close to her family and they lovingly cared for her 
until she passed. Janice is also survived by a daughter, Betty Zoe Brown 
Leiser of Montain View, CA; grandsons, Gregory Leiser of San Diego, CA, and 
David Leiser of Morgan Hill, CA; great-grandsons, Eric and Jeffrey Leiser of 
San Diego, CA and great-granddaughters, Jasmine and Samantha Leiser of Morgan 
Hill, CA. 

Janice had many accomplishments, which included serving as past president of 
the womens organization of the Stockdale Country Club, and past president of 
the board of directors of the condominium association where she resided. She 
remained an active member of the association board.

Her interests were varied, some of which were sailing their yacht named the 
Jan-Jan with her late husband, playing bridge at the level of Bridge Master, 
gardening, cooking, reading and socializing with her many friends and 
acquaintances. She was also an active member of the West Side Church of 
Christ, which she attended regularly.

It was her request that the Neptune Society cremate her remains and her ashes 
scattered in the ocean, which the family plans to do at a later time 
privately. She was truly a unique person who will be greatly missed. She 
continues to live on in our memories.
