Janice grew up in Milford, Connecticut, on Long Island Sound. Several of her siblings, two sisters and a brother, started migrating to Vermont in the late 70’s. She and her husband Chris enjoyed visiting family in Vermont and vacationing on Lake Elmore each summer.  After 29 years working in management for the Subway Restaurant Chain she retired. Not liking to be idle she took a part-time job as an Office Manager/Bookkeeper for a local church for two years.  

In Milford she served on the board of the local Boys and Girls Club, volunteered to prepare meals in the local soup kitchen as well as chaired several committees at her local church.

When her husband Chris retired as a Director of Respiratory Therapy, they decided that they wanted to make Vermont their home and be closer to family. They live in Hyde Park with her adult son Christopher.

Janice enjoys gardening, crafts, planning and organizing family events and working on family genealogy.
