Janice Lorraine Lenzen was born on January 11, 1938 to Roy and Thelma (Fair) Lincoln, in Albert Lea, MN. She attended school in Albert Lea.

To this union, 5 children were born: Gary, Brenda, Terri, Diane, and Cindy. The couple later divorced.
Janice worked many jobs throughout her life, and her career brought her to many different places, including: Florida, Maine, Iowa and Minnesota. Recently, she worked as a nurse for St. John's Lutheran Home. She was known at St. John's for the caring hugs she gave to the residents.
Janice enjoyed cooking, shopping, and was a very talented seamstress. Family was very important to Janice. She had a strong personality, and people looked up to her to take control of any situation. She was very generous, soft-hearted, and giving – almost to a fault. She had a wonderful sense of humor. Most of all, Janice was blessed to work as a nurse in a career that she truly loved.
Janice is preceded in death by her parents, Roy and Thelma Lincoln; as well as a grandson, Josh Pilcher.
Those left to cherish Janice's memory include her husband, George Lenzen; children, Gary (Carol) Pilcher, Brenda Pilcher, Terri Pilcher, Diane (Noli Jr.) Santos, and Cindy (Jeff) Hicks; grandchildren, Crystal (Justin) Wirtz, Tiffani (Jeremy) White, Caleb Pilcher, Erich Pilcher, Marjorie (Tom) Heckler, Joseph (Adria) Pilcher, Tonya Santos, Abbey Santos, Anthony Riley, Adam Pilcher, and Austin Hicks; great-grandchildren, Simeon, Jaren, and Avory Wirtz, Gavin, Oliver, and Levi Heckler, and Wyatt Pilcher; siblings, Eugene Turner, Joyce Luhm, Richard Lincoln, and Bernie Cornick; as well as many loving nieces, nephews and other relatives.

Janice's family would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of her friends and caregivers at St. John's Lutheran Home.
