Janice was a dedicated mother and grandmother who loved nothing more than watching her kids play sports and spending time with her family.

She graduated from Westford Academy, class of 1967, and went on to further her education at the University of Lowell.

Janice was a communicant of St. Catherine of Alexandria Parish where she volunteered her time with the accounting ministry for the parish. She was also a member of the Cameron Senior Center in Westford.

Besides her husband Jim, she is survived by her children, Jim Deveny, Jr. and his spouse, Pam of Townsend and Jessalyn Deveny - McNamar and her spouse, Amanda McNamar of N. Andover; two brothers, Alfred Reeves and his wife, Karen Henkel - Reeves of Ocala, FL and Don Reeves and his wife, Betty of Hudson, NH; three grandchildren, Joshua and Jason Deveny and Zoe Deveny - McNamar. Also many nieces, nephews and dear friends.
