Honoring Janice’s Legacy

In lieu of flowers, our family welcomes memorial donations in honor of Janice. Contributions will be distributed between two organizations that represent meaningful parts of her life, her spirit, and the things she held dear.

Doula Damn Thing — Honoring Her Journey to the Spirit World

During Janice’s final days, two beautiful Anishinaabe women came into our lives and helped guide our mother and our family through one of life’s most sacred transitions.

Through traditional prayers, ceremony, spiritual guidance, and compassionate presence, they helped us honor Janice’s Ojibwe heritage and prepare her for her journey to the spirit world.

Their kindness, wisdom, and willingness to walk beside our family brought comfort and meaning to a time that words can hardly describe.

Supporting this work is our way of expressing gratitude and helping preserve the opportunity for other families to experience compassionate, culturally meaningful end-of-life care.

Mid America Paso Fino Horse Association (MAPFHA) — Honoring Her Love of Horses

Anyone who knew Janice knew that horses held an extraordinary place in her heart. Her connection with them went far beyond a hobby or pastime. Horses represented freedom, strength, peace, and a deep connection to the natural world.

MAPFHA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and preserving the Paso Fino horse through education, youth programs, community events, and opportunities for people to experience the beauty of this remarkable breed.

Supporting this organization honors a lifelong passion that brought Janice tremendous joy and reflects the special bond she shared with horses.

Two organizations. Two meaningful parts of Janice’s life. One beautiful legacy.

Our family is deeply grateful for every expression of love and remembrance. Your generosity will help carry forward the traditions, compassion, and passions that made Janice who she was.

Miigwech — Thank you.
