Janice F. Parent's Obituary
Janice F. Parent, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, cousin, companion and friend, left this world unexpectedly, at 84, on Sunday, March 28, 2021. Janice was born on April 28, 1936 in Springfield, Massachusetts on April 28, 1936 to Mr. John and Olga Wojcik. Janice was an induvial who knew who she was and what she liked. Janice was a beautiful soul who would light up the room with her smile and her infectious laugh. She was never ashamed to be herself and always wore her own style. Her favorite colors to wear were red and black, but her ensembles would also include the biggest, gaudiest, shiniest patterns and jewelry in her outfits. Her other passion was spending with her grandchildren and great grandchild. She would spend hundreds of hours playing board games and watching game shows on T.V. with them. That, and Janice always had a song in her heart. Janice would love to sing and hum polka songs. No matter what she was doing or where she was, if it got too quiet she started to sing or hum while patting the beat on her leg. A beautiful woman who made no apologies and lived her life with the love from her adoring family. She was a kind woman who will be greatly missed.
Janice is survived by her beloved husband of 57 years, Bradford Parent, daughter, Dawna Parent Phillips, sons; Kurtis Parent, Douglas Parent and Scott Parent. Granddaughter Jessica Phillips and grandsons; William and Bradford Parent and three great grandchildren; Casey McCormick, Aleister Eldridge and Koda Beck.
