In Memory of Janine Willman

Dearest friends and family of Janine Willman:

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the death of Janine Marie Willman. Anyone who knew her knew she was a fighter with a huge heart. She would make friends with almost everyone she met and was known for her generosity. Janine ultimately ended her journey with cancer on Friday, September 9, 2022 and thankfully is now able to be pain free and at peace. She was the primary caregiver for her father, Art Willman Jr. (84) who is in need of memory care, either at home or in an assisted living facility.

As friends and family grieve together, we are looking for ways to help and provide support during this devastating time. Her father is the only surviving member of her immediate family, but as you all know Janine has loved ones she called family spread far and wide across the country and beyond.

Janine was not prepared for sudden funeral expenses with all the immediate care needs she had for herself and her father. Before her passing, she asked to have a GoFundMe account set up to help cover funeral expenses and costs of transitioning her father to an assisted care facility. Costs are estimated for now, but we are hoping family, friends and the community can help us reach our goal of $5,000 for afterlife expenses by September 30, 2022 and another $10,000 to help with moving and primary care expenses for Janine’s father Art. Please consider donating if you are able to do so.

Blessings and Peace to you all in this time of our shared grief.

Melynda Kollodge and Randy Smith (managing Janine’s affairs at her request)
