On Wednesday, October 7, 2020, Janice Woodhouse, loving mother, sister and grandmother, passed away peacefully at the age of 72 in Halifax after a long battle with cancer.
She was a loving mother to Tammy (Steve) Killorn, David (Deanna) Lumax, Jennifer (Dave) Gardiner and Debbie (Adam) Zavitz. She was a grandmother to Brittani, Courtney, Stephanie, Erica, Evan, Becky, Jarrett, Braya, Amanda, Sierra, Sydney, MacKenna, Brooke and Hayden. She was also a great grandmother to Cayden, Alexis, Nayla, and Aria.
Janice was also an aunt to many nieces and nephews and sister to Gary and Mark MacNeil. She was predeceased by her brother, Roddy MacNeil and her parents, John and Dora MacNeil.
Our mother was a beautiful funny soul who loved to dance, sing and laugh. She cherished her family and loved nothing more than spending time with her children and grandchildren who were her world. Our mom loved family gatherings a few times a year and would plan her menu a year in advance! We will truly miss her more than words can express and our family gatherings will never be the same.
Mom also loved and valued all of the many friendships she had over the years and especially with her friends of over 40 years, Al and Marion.
A very special thank you to the doctors and nurses at the Halifax Hospice for their care and comfort of our mother and family during her last days.
A Celebration of Life will be held with family.
Donations may be made to Hospice Halifax or Canadian Cancer Society.
