Janice Irene Feece Warren
Janice Irene Feece Warren passed away in her home on May 3, 2021, at her home with family.
Fondly nicknamed Jay-Jay, she was born on Feb. 21, 1945, in Argos, to William and Madge Feece. She grew up in Culver and Plymouth, as well as Debary, Fla., where she fondly remembered cookouts on the beach. Growing up, she loved bothering her three older brothers and younger sister. She was a 1963 graduate of West High School, where she was a proud member of the Bulldog Yearbook Club.
She raised her four children in Plymouth while working at many places, including United Technologies, Lobdell-Emory, and Michiana Behavioral Health Care Center, but her beloved and most rewarding job was having a childcare center out of her home for over 35 years, where she took care of hundreds of children. She loved holidays and would enjoy decorating her house and having parties at her daycare center. She also loved spoiling her grandchildren and going on shopping trips with her daughter and granddaughter.
She enjoyed reading crime novels, eating at Red Lobster, going on vacations (especially to areas with beaches), watching The Walking Dead, and taking care of her plants. She loved collecting bird figurines, as well as taking care of her very spoiled parrots, Pancho and Fluffy. On good days, she loved going to the LifePlex gym to take laps around the track on her walker and enjoyed water aerobics. She was a life-long member of First United Church of Christ in Plymouth.
