OBITUARIES Janice Marie Novak

a great talent for putting trips together and created many wonderful adventures for her family. She loved the beach and was sure to plan trips that involved getting her family’s toes in the sand and the sun on their faces. She and Howard also went on many “tool around” trips where they would check out a town or state they hadn’t visited before, making sure to enjoy delicious eateries along the way.

Janice also had some serious chops in the kitchen, especially when it came to Italian cuisine. She created many incredible meals over the years, to the delight of friends and family. Whether it was a small dinner with friends or a big 4th of July bash, everyone knew they would eat well at the Novak household.

Janice was sharp of mind and spirit, which she carried with her until the end. She loved to laugh; she was humorous and loved humor in others and her laugh could quickly become one of the most contagious sounds in a room. She had strong principles and she lived by them. She also had a certain class and panache that drew people in and it is one of the many reasons she will live on in the thoughts and memories of so many.

Janice is survived by her husband Howard; her daughters Alexandra and Jessica and husband Reid Kapinos; her mother, Helen; her sisters Vicki Wichmann and Karen Dow, and her husband Steve; her sister-inlaw Robin Monterosso; as well as many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and in-laws. She was predeceased by her father Joseph; her older brother Steve; and her motherin-law and her husband, Rita and Al Cohen.

Janice was a 23-year cancer survivor. That did not happen by accident. We would like to thank the many skilled and caring nurses, doctors, and staff at the UVM Medical Center, whose efforts allowed Janice to stay with us so much longer than she otherwise might have. We would also like to thank the outstanding doctors, nurses, LNAs, and volunteers at the McClure-Miller Respite House. Their guidance, care, and understanding eased her path and allowed us the opportunity to be with and love her in her final days. We also want to send a heartfelt thank you to all the friends and family who have kept our stomachs full and blessed us with countless gestures of love and support over the past months. We love you and appreciate the warm blanket of comfort you have provided.

Family and friends are invited to join us in celebrating Janice’s life. Visiting hours will be March 23 from 4-6 p.m. at Ready Funeral Home, 68 Pinecrest Drive, Essex Junction. A service of remembrance will take place on Friday, March 24 at 11 a.m. at the All-Souls Interfaith Gathering, 291 Bostwick Farm Road, Shelburne.
