Janice was born on February 5, 1946, the daughter of Albert Roseman and Lillie {Murphy} Roseman, both deceased. She was united in marriage to Mikal Harden until his passing. Janice enjoyed playing bingo, crocheting, watching her Soaps, and indulging in watching Lifetime movies. She loved to have coffee and hold babies and also make her specialty dish, potato salad. She is survived by her children, Mikal R. (Kathy) Harden, Melissa (Timothy) Amore, & Dawn (Jack Flynn) Harden, as well as several grandchildren and great grandchildren; her siblings, Edith English, Butch (Carla) Roseman, Linda (Denis) Davidson, and Julie (Mark) Cramer; and her best friend, Mary Edwards; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her daughters, Lillie & Millie (twins) and Lori Harden; her granddaughter, Amber; and her siblings, Charlene Guiliani, Nancy Roseman, Vernon Roseman, and Michael Mullins Sr. Janice had a special bond with her great granddaughter, Ella Thompson. Ella was born the daughter of Kayla {Flynn} and Clay Thompson on October 1, 2019, in Urbana, Illinois. She loved to go swinging, fishing, and deer hunting, as well as tea parties. She enjoyed blue slushies, sour patch candy, and all the animals she could see. She was known to love to dance and wear her cowboy boots everywhere. Ellas strongest trait was the ability to boss people around with style all while drinking her favorite drinks, "chocey milk" or blue Koolaid.

She will be dearly missed by her mommy, Kayla; her grandparents, Paula & Larry Thompson, and Kenneth Flynn; her great grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. John Flynn; her many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
