SOUTH BEND - Janice L. Weinberg, 65, of South Bend, passed
away after a lengthy battle with cancer(s) on Wednesday, April
11, in Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center in South Bend. Janice
was born on June 9, 1941, in South Bend, Indiana, to Frank E. and
Angeline (Kapica) Jankowski. Janice was a legal
secretary for 21 years with Cholis & Cholis, Attorneys at
Law, and served as treasurer with District 11 Little League for
over 15 years. Mondays after school were "Grammy Day"
with all her grandchildren, and summers were spent at Donnell
Lake with family and friends or at the ballpark. She touched so
many lives with her kindness and generosity, and her courage this
past year was nothing short of amazing. Whenever you hear or see
the words "Play Like A Champion," smile and
remember what it meant to her.
