Janice had a gift for creating anything she visioned. She sewed her daughters’ clothes using paper patterns she drew on paper. She loved crafts of any kind from sewing large items to tiny doll clothes, crocheting, embroidery, macramé, decoupage, leatherwork, ceramics, florals, making jewelry, beadwork, and cooking, most especially her German Chocolate Cake.

Janice had an overabundance of love for each member of her family. She was loved and cherished by many. She was so loved and treated like a princess by her husband Bob. She was radiant from the day she met him. They loved traveling, working on hobbies together, attending craft shows, working in their yard, and spending time with family.

The family of Janice Eckenrod wishes to extend their sincere thanks to her nurses at Citizens Hospital, Crown Hospice, with a heartfelt thank you to Angie Karl.
