Obituary:
Janice Kathleen Boice, 67, passed away on November 7, 2016, with her family at her side following an illness of cancer. Diagnosed in October of last year, she handled her illness with characteristic grace and dignity. Born in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on June 20, 1949, Jan was the daughter of Beverly VanMunn and the late Henry VanMunn. She married Douglas Brittin Boice, a naval medical officer, in 1978 in Rockville, MD. Jan and Doug were stationed in various locations (Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland; Long Beach, California; Norfolk, Virginia). Her husband died unexpectedly in Virginia in 1992 after returning from the Persian Gulf War. Jan unselfishly raised their only child, Kelly Maureen, from five years of age until adulthood. Jan served faithfully in many Christian activities in Hampton Roads VA and De Pere WI. She was a teacher of Bible, science and math and also taught in Alaska, but for most of her life Jan was a nurse treating the needy. Jan loved Colorado, the beautiful scenery reflecting God's glory, and enjoyed hiking and picking up geological specimens (aka rocks) that her son-in-law had to carry down the mountains. Her grandson, Calvin, has picked up on this legacy. She is survived by her daughter, Kelly; two grandchildren, Calvin Douglas and Piper Elizabeth; her son in law, Eric Mitchel Jones, her mother, Beverly VanMunn; and her brother, Patrick VanMunn. In addition to her family, she will be keenly missed by dear friends and all those who recognized her abiding spirit, great passion and faith. A family viewing was held November 10, 2016 at 2:15 pm at the Olinger, Andrews, Caldwell, and Gibson Funeral Home in Castle Rock, Colorado. A gravesite service is planned for November 17, 2016 at 2:30 pm at the Fort Bliss National Cemetery in El Paso, Texas. A celebration of Jan's life will be held on December 10th in Green Bay, Wisconsin at the Jacob's Well Church. In lieu of flowers, contributions could be made in the memory of Jan Boice to Jacob's Well Church, 3340 Lineville Rd, Green Bay, WI 54313. Published in Green Bay Press-Gazette on Nov. 13, 2016.
