Elk Rapids, Michigan - Janice Eileen Reynolds (1935 - 2026) passed away peacefully in her sleep after a 6 year remission from ovarian cancer. In her own words, she had a "good run" during her 90 years. She was preceded in death by her husband of 56 years, Keith Reynolds, her mother and father Florence and Don and her brother Don.

She was born in a small town in Indiana. Prior to marrying Keith, she lived in Hawaii and San Diego, where they met. They had 2 children Jennifer and Valerie (Mike), 3 grandchildren, Amber, Dillon, Parker and 2 great grandchildren, Brayton and Record. The family moved throughout the country for Keith's work (Chicago, Escanaba, Rochester) finally ending up back in San Diego in the mid 70's. In San Diego, she was the VP and Treasurer of a successful printing supply company. She was also an excellent boat captain and angler. Jan and Keith retired to Montana then they moved to Elk Rapids MI and built a home on Elk Lake. After retirement, she took up golf again and gained a reputation for an excellent short game. She enjoyed getting together with her friends to play mahjong in Michigan and Punta Gorda FL. Her other passion was gardening, carefully planning so there were always blooms.

She was known for her sincerity and friendliness. Everyone loved how truly nice she was. She was a loving mother, grandmother and a "greatest" grandmother. She left a meaningful impression with all who knew her. She will be missed.

A celebration will be held on Thursday, August 20 at the Harbor Pavilion in Elk Rapids MI from 1 pm until 4 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance in her name. https://ocrahope.org/
