Janice (Jannie) Audrie Antoine

Janice (Jannie) Audrie Antoine, 82, of Fleetville passed peacefully into the loving arms of Jesus on Sunday, Oct. 29, 2017 surrounded by family in Pittsburgh, PA.  She was united in marriage 65 years to her devoted and loving husband, David.

Born on Feb. 7, 1935, in Lenoxville, PA, she was the daughter of the late Herbert Rood and late   Madeline Strickland. Her humble beginnings, her love for family, and her nurturing heart were always present in the unconditional love she gave to all she encountered throughout generations.

She loved entertaining, family gatherings, tending to her flowers, and her beloved dog Dusty.

In search of her Irish heritage, Jan and Dave made several trips to Ireland and spent time in Florida and Hawaii.

The years of joy and laughter we shared with her will live in our hearts forever.
