provincial house, Cargo Heavy Duty in the Billing department, with her last employment 
being at Campbell Insurance Agency.

Ceaira Rose Potter.  Janice enjoyed wonderful times with her family, camping, bonfires, 
taking the daughters bowling every Sunday and how they loved their shopping.  Janice spent 
many hours volunteering her time as a member of the 4H Club helping her daughter and Megan 
Brown show animals.  She enjoyed volunteering at Lakewood Wrestling meets alongside her best 
friend Darcey Morrison at the concession stand.
   Janice was a devoted mom, grandmother and daughter, she assisted their father for
many years faithfully caring for their mother.  She loved the time she spent playing and 
cuddling her granddaughter Milah Jo whom she affectionately called "LoveBug".  In July 2016,

Janice also loved to remind people that out of all the dozens of cousins she was the only one 
named after grandma Thelma Irene Catlin,  She enjoyed her visit and pampering whiled 
at Laurels from her Aunt Pat and Wilma.
