August 25, 1953 - February 17, 2022
In loving memory ~
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that the family of Janice Pires (nee Owen) announces her passing on Thursday, February 17, 2022, at the Peace Arch Hospice. Janice was born on August 25, 1953 in Powell River and was the loving daughter of the late Ronald Owen and Eva (nee Mason) Owen.
Janice was devoted wife to her husband of 48 years, Steven Pires and enjoyed spending time with their children and grandchildren. She will always be remembered as a kind and loving soul. Janice was generous, thoughtful and caring with a quirky sense of humour and the ability to make all those in her presence feel special and loved.
She is survived by her loving husband, Steven Pires; Daughters Jessica (Jim) Payn and Abbey (Dan) Cheung and son Jordan (Claire) Pires; sisters Betty (Bill) Owen, Marilyn Embree and Susan (Jim) Walker; beloved grandchildren Jackson, Kate, Kyla, Ella and baby Quincy. Several nieces, nephews and special friends. Janice was predeceased by her parents and brother in law Doug Embree.
If so desired, in the memory of Janice a donation can be made to the BC Cancer Agency in her name.
