Janice's obituary
Janice Ann Haddix, a bright and spirited soul, was born on July 29, 1969, in Los Angeles, California to Pamela Rose Bolima and Frank Aaron Haddix, Sr. On September 14, 2024, at the age of 55, she took her final breath after a courageous battle with COPD. Though her body succumbed, her spirit remains unbroken in the hearts of those who loved her most. She leaves behind her two beloved daughters, Naomi Michelle Winters Halterman and Vanessa Alexandria Haddix, along with her cherished grandchildren: Willow, Logan, and Lenna. Their lives are forever enriched by her love, guidance, and endless support.
Growing up as the only girl among seven brothers, Janice often reflected on those days as some of the best of her life. She adored her brothers—Frank, Jr., Richard, Jason, Anthony, Roger, Allen Wayne, and Robert—who taught her not only how to play sports and ride motorcycles but also how to live boldly and fearlessly. Janice often said that her father was her hero, the man who shaped her into the resilient woman she became. From him, she learned not just the games of tennis and ping pong, but the greater games of life—how to work hard, love harder, and always face each day with a positive attitude.
Janice was a woman of rare beauty, both inside and out. Her laughter was infectious, her smile radiant, and her heart open to all who crossed her path. Life didn’t spare her from hardship, but even in the face of adversity, she was a beacon of light. Those who knew her best knew her as someone who would drop everything to help others, no matter the cost. Her warmth, humor, and silliness were her trademarks, and her boundless energy made even the darkest moments a little brighter.
But above all, Janice’s greatest pride and deepest joy came from being a mother and grandmother. Her love for her daughters and grandchildren knew no bounds. They were her world, and in them, her legacy of strength, love, and resilience will forever live on.
To know Janice was to know strength, kindness, and a fierce determination to live life on her terms. She will be deeply, profoundly missed, but the imprint she left on all of us will never fade.
