Our family is sad to announce, Janice Marion Wipperfurth, passed away unexpectedly on June 9, 2015.
Janice was a genuine, festive and fun wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She will be deeply missed. Janice was born on August 13, 1942 in Lansing, Michigan to Guy and Novella LaTourette.
She was the oldest sister to Colleen Malcom (Bill), Mary Woodyard (Jack), and Lynette LaTourette.
Janice and her devoted husband, Kurt Wipperfurth, met at Michigan State University and were planning to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on November 6, 2015. They enjoyed and persevered through many years together; raising a family, traveling, boating, cheering on the Spartans with alumni at Houligans, meeting for coffee with friends, participating in Bible study groups, and just living life. Janice moved to Ormond Beach, Florida in 1983, when her husband's company constructed the Granada Bridge. She loved to walk the bridge regularly and really enjoyed the surrounding parks.
Janice delighted in her in-laws; Barbara DeWitt, William (Dianna) Wipperfurth, Jerry Wipperfurth, and Bill Malcolm. Several cousins, nieces and nephews were special to her beyond words.
Janice was a loving mother to Melissa Baumann (Fred), Barbara Wipperfurth, and Kurt Guy Wipperfurth. Her nine grandchildren; Dillon Stose and Cassidy Baumann, Joey, Mackenzie, Hunter, Brooke and Jackson Oddo, Pike and Reed Wipperfurth, were a tremendous joy in her life.
"Grammie," seldom missed an opportunity to cheer her grandchildren on with passion from ballet recitals to basketball games. The last several years of her life were dedicated to being available at a moments notice to her grandchildren; her constant love and support contributed to their strong sense of belonging and successful transition to teen years and adulthood. Spending time outdoors at the Rockefeller Gardens walking her dog Abby, dunes in Michigan, and the mountains of Colorado refreshed her soul. She spent time serving and comforting the homeless with passion and zeal, which was also a calling she faithfully embraced. Janice had an eternal perspective on life and was devoted to developing her faith and pursuing a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
