Janice Foskin, 1955–2026, a creative and caring spirit

Janice Foskin, a lifelong resident of Waltham, passed away on April 10 after a courageous and determined battle. She was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt and friend whose quiet strength and kind heart touched the lives of those who knew her.

Janice was born in Waltham on January 18, 1955, to the late Virginia and Conrad Foskin. She remained deeply connected to her community throughout her life and found comfort in the familiar places and people she cared about.

She is survived by her sister, Elizabeth (Gallagher) Coburn of Bedford, New Hampshire, and was predeceased by her brother, James Foskin. Janice had a deep love for her family and many friends. In addition to her sister, Janice is survived by her three nieces, one nephew, two grandnieces, and five grandnephews.

Janice had a gentle spirit and found moments of happiness in life’s simple pleasures. She loved playing BINGO and other games, appreciating both the excitement of the game and the companionship of those around her. She also had a talent for cross-stitching, creating detailed pieces featuring cats and nature, each made with patience and care, and she enjoyed coloring and other creative activities. Janice valued time spent with others, whether sharing a meal, playing games, or simply talking and laughing together. She was a devoted member of her church and found strength and comfort in her faith.

She will be remembered for her resilience, her thoughtfulness, and her ability to find happiness in everyday moments. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.

A memorial service to celebrate Janice’s life will be held on May 3 at 3 p.m. at the Boston Church Framingham, 214 Concord St., Framingham, MA. All who knew and loved her are welcome to attend. She will be buried at Mount Feake Cemetery in Waltham with her parents.

Janice will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered always.
