We announce the sudden passing of Janice Fischer (nee Tonn) on May 11, 2024 at the age of 74.
Don, Jeff, Keith and Jen were at her side.
Predeceased by father Herman, she leaves behind mother Margaret Tonn (nee Fuerst), sister Maureen Annable, loving husband Donald, sons, Jeffrey and Keith (Jennifer), grandchildren, Lewis Nabelsi-Fischer, and Raven and Ryley Rempel. She is also survived by sister-in-law Donna McIntosh (Nick), a nephew and many nieces.
Janice was born on July 10, 1949 at St. Boniface Hospital, grew up in Beausejour and moved to Winnipeg in 1965. After graduating from St. Johns High School in 1968, she went to work for the Great-West Life Assurance Co., where she met her husband Don. They were married in 1974. Janice continued to work until 1977 when she and Don began their family.
Janice was a member of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church and the St. Vital Agricultural Society. She served on the Board of SVAS and enjoyed competing in its annual fair, winning many awards for her baking, crafts, photography and gardening.
Janice enjoyed curling in mixed bonspiels with Don and in the St. Vital CC ladies league. Her teams scored 3 prestigious 8-ENDERS. Skating, bowling and golf were other sports she enjoyed. She decorated wedding and children’s birthday cakes. Sewing clothes, crocheting and needlepoint; she could do it all. Beating Don at cribbage brought the biggest most satisfying smile.
Numerous ocean cruises and trips to Mexico and Vegas were enjoyed, but a European River Cruise to celebrate her 65th birthday was her favourite. She was Don’s able navigator on road trips through the USA and Europe. Annual family trips to Palm Springs and Falcon Lake were fondly remembered.
Janice enjoyed her lakeside Southdale home, watching and photographing the wildlife at her feeders.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Epilepsy Canada.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 30, 2024 at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Blvd.
