Life story

Janice is survived by her loving children, Mark Tippin and his wife Laurie, Paul Tippin and his wife Vicky, Lisa Levchick and her husband Wayne, Suzanne Veneri and her husband Phil, Cheryl Gelinas and her husband Tim. Also survived by her adoring 9 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. She was the sister of Brian and Gary Farmer, and Margie Goding.

Janice worked for EG & G Sealol as a Human Resource Administrator for many years prior to her retirement. She loved dancing, a passion that remained close to her heart throughout her adult life. Every week, Janice’s spirit lit up the dance floor of the Mishnock Barn, where she was surrounded by friends and family. This weekly tradition was more than just a hobby; it was a celebration of life, love, and the connections she forged over the years.

Janice’s enthusiasm for dance was just one of the many ways she radiated joy and vitality. Her ability to bring happiness to any gathering was unparalleled. In addition to her love for dance, Janice was active and enjoyed biking, kayaking and traveling with her family.

She will be profoundly missed by all who knew her, but her spirit will continue to dance in the hearts of many. Rest in peace, Janice C. McGurn.
