 Janice was born July 5, 1931, in Saronville, and died peacefully surrounded by her family at the Aurora Community Health facility on October 30, 2024. 
Janice grew up in the Sutton and Saronville communities. She married Leland Alberts on December 23, 1946. Together they had nine children and lived on a couple of different farms around these same communities. She was a loving, dedicated mother and grandmother, wonderful cook, and managed many of the responsibilities of a farm while keeping the safety and health of her children and grandchildren a priority. Her grandchildren visited the farm often and they were filled with memories that will last a lifetime. She enjoyed her garden and would oftentimes take a saltshaker out with her so she could eat the freshest tomatoes possible. She was a true homebody and was not a fan of traveling. She once said on a trip to Colorado and a ride up to Estes Park when another friend commented on how beautiful a certain tree was, “oh once you’ve seen one tree, you’ve seen them all”. She did not hesitate to tell you what she was thinking so you always knew where you stood with her and how she felt about things.
She is survived by her children Steven (Barb) Alberts, James (Chris) Alberts, Donald (Phyllis) Alberts, Cheryl (Scott) Mackenzie, Thomas (Lorie) Alberts, and Patrick (Jackie) Alberts; grandchildren Gregory and Amy Alberts, Phillip Alberts and Lauren Rhode, Katelyn Mahoney and Ian Mackenzie, and Isaac and Alika Alberts; great-grandchildren Ellie, Ben, Jack, Lily, Connor, Miles, and Nico. She was one of ten children and was the last surviving family member of the Lohmeier family.
Janice was preceded in death by her infant sons Kenneth and Gerald, her son Michael Alberts, and granddaughter Megan Alberts.
