The family of Janice L. Loof, 77, announces her passing, and invites all who knew her to remember her here.
Below, the simplest tribute: the truth of a life as it was lived.
Born in 1937, Janice began a life that would touch many along the way.
Parenthood is the slow work of love. Janice did it well.
