On November 20, 1948, Janice and William Oostdyk were united in marriage at St
Mark Lutheran Church.
Janice worked at the Sheboygan County Court House, R Way furniture, and
Wigwam Mills until retirement.
Janice and Bill spent many hours helping out and enjoying Sheboygan A’s
baseball, however, Janice’s primary interest was music. She participated in
church choirs for 60 years and sang professionally in her early years with Ruben

Bird and squirrel watching and reading were her recent interests.
Janice is survived by her children, Lynn (Mark) Jelenc, and Leigh (Neil) Sprangers,

Christopher (Brianna) Jelenc of Waunakee and Kyle Sprangers of Howards Grove
and his special friend Marissa Goetsch; great grandchildren Mia and Tyson Blum
and Carson and Chloe Jelenc; and a nephew Fred Steffen, as well as other family
and friends.
Janice was preceded in death by her parents, husband William, and a brother
Robert (Lorraine) Steffen.
A private funeral service will be held on Wednesday, April 29 with Pastor Brett
Matz of St Mark’s Lutheran Church officiating.
A committal service will follow at Greenlawn Memorial Park where Janice will be
entombed along with her husband William.
A special thank you to Janice’s church family at St Mark’s for their monthly visits.
