Janice R. Orlowski, a cherished member of her community, passed away peacefully on May 7, 2025, in Summit, Wisconsin. Born on January 11, 1940, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Janice lived a life filled with love, devotion, and a hardworking spirit that touched the hearts of those around her.

A dedicated professional, Janice retired after an impressive 33 years at Briggs and Stratton. Outside of her career, she embraced her faith as a devoted Catholic. She was a longtime member of St. Gregory the Great and, after relocating to Pewaukee, became a beloved member of Queen of Apostles Church. Janice's unwavering commitment to her spirituality was evident to all who knew her.

Janice's vibrant personality shone brightly throughout her life. Described as bold, hardworking, charismatic, and spunky, she approached every challenge and opportunity with zest. Her interests included taking casino trips, where she often found enjoyment and camaraderie with friends and family.

She is lovingly survived by her daughter, Karen, and will be forever remembered as a beloved grandmother to Shawn, Nicole (Austin), Mike (Tricia), and a great-grandmother to Jared and Braden.

Janice's passing is felt deeply by her family and friends, as she was preceded in death by her husband Donald, her daughter Linda, grandson Nicholas, as well as her parents Clara and Elmer, and siblings Bobby, Sonny, Gordy, Delores, Ruthie, and Gerome.
