Janice's Story

I am a very simple person. Over my 68 years I have worked about 50 of those. Most of my career I have gone from clerical help to managing up to 5 people in an customer service/administrative environment. Even worked for a well established investment firm while living in the city of Chicago. I really enjoyed working with people. I like working my little part time job at Goodwill even though I am retired. I see all different types of people shopping through out our store. Occasionally makes me sad but also makes me happy to give someone an occasional bargain when in need. I currently live on my own but have lived with my children to help each other with expenses in the past. Both my children are in their 40’s and on their own now. I have 4 super grand-girls ranging in age from 15-19 which I am so proud of because of their accomplishments. I was a single parent raising my children which was a bit difficult but brought them up on the simple principles of life; morals, ethics, beliefs, ideals & of course, standards. Both my parents have passed as well as a younger brother. Miss them dearly. I have a sister that I do a lot with and although she has Multiple Sclerosis, she’s still so very independent.

have been divorced for almost 25 years and had an 11 year relationship while I was in the city. My ex-husband has since passed away and I needed to move away from the “city relationship” back in the early 2000’s. My daughter needed my help after a difficult pregnancy and boyfriend that moved out of state. It was hard. I believe I have experienced a new adventure every once in awhile. I raced sailboats for 10 years while in the city. Have been to England at least 4 times. Traveled to Puerto Vallarta with 7 other friends. Attempted snow skiing (didn’t work out) but did drive snow mobiles once for an exciting experience. My stamina is not quite what it used to be so I am definitely slowing down a bit. I’m curious about culture and travel (not that I’ve done a lot) & fascinated with learning. Love to tackle new challenges. I have personal integrity, & core values, but also the ability to laugh at myself in almost any situation. My family has their 3-4 year plan to possibly move out west. I may just follow them. One of Janice's favorite quotes is:"If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance. George Bernard Shaw. Janice’s favorite movie includes Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
