Janice Ellen Elmore, age 78, passed away Thursday, July 27, 2023, surrounded by her loving family. Janice’s family and friends will gather Monday, July 31, 2023, at Eineder Funeral Homes – Michigan Center Chapel (Formerly Arthur-Day Funeral Home) for visitation from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m and then from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Her funeral service will be held on August 1 at 11:00 a.m with visitation from 10:00 a.m. until the time of the service. Interment will be at Oak Grove Cemetery, Napoleon, Michigan. Pastor Ned Bernstein will serve as officiant.
She was born on April 30, 1945, in Nelsonville, Ohio, to James and Margaret (Douglas-Gerardis) Green. Janice will be remembered as someone that loves people and never met a stranger. She spent a large majority of her life working as a teacher’s assistant and mentor for the Michigan Center Teen Scene. Janice would always be available for her students when they needed her support. She also was very patriotic, to the point that seeing our nation’s flag flying with the National Anthem playing would bring her to tears. Janice was also very involved in the Women’s Auxiliary for the American Legion. She volunteered her time to the American Legion and to the Veterans Association. Janice was a very talented artist and crafter. She loved to make jewelry among many other things. Janice also was a collector of all things. It didn’t matter what it was, but if she liked it and it caught her attention, she would collect it.
Janice will be missed by her special ex-husband, Dane Elmore; her children, Jackie (Bill) Page, Shelley (Tom) Sayles and Stu (Kate) Elmore; daughter-in-law Melinda Vollmer and stepdaughter Stacey Bailey, brothers James (Marlene) Green and Doug (Julie) Green and grandchildren Robert and James Vollmer, Courtney (Chris) and Lee (Kylie) Page, Brittany and Josh Sayles, Darcey, Brooks, Cheyenne, Devin, Marcus and Kyleigh and Stuart Elmore III. She is preceded in death by her parents, James and Margaret Green and her son Bryan Vollmer.
