passed away September 25, 2021 at the age
of 69.
She was born to Robert and Jane (Filipiak)
Quist on April 5, 1952 in Grand Rapids. Jan-
ice was raised with her siblings Robert,
Di-ane, and Shirley in their family home
located in Grand Rapids. She was a 1970
graduate of Central High School and received
her cosme-tology license from Wright Beauty
Academy later in life.
Janice spent many years working at Brad-
ford White in Middleville and finished her
working career as both a nail technician and
hairstylist; eventually owning and operating
her own beauty salon.
Janice found joy in everything creative
from making blankets, scarves and hats to
hand painting Christmas ornaments and
glasses for friends and loved ones. She
en-joyed time spent on Barlow Lake with her
children, laying in the sun, and waterskiing to
fill the days of her favorite season, summer.
Janice’s love of animals ran deep; through-
out her life she shared her home with many
cats and dogs, she especially loved her Great
Danes. In her free time she loved to spend
time with friends and relax in the comfort of
home after long days on her feet.
Janice is survived by her children, Jesse
(Beth) Strzyzewski of Middleville, Loren
(Bryn) Hummell of Charlotte; sister, Shirley,
and grandchildren, Clay, Isaac, Maeson,
Tripp, and Brylor.
She was preceded in death by her parents;
brother, Robert, and sister, Diane.
The family would like to thank Spectrum
Health Hospice for their care and compassion
during the final stage of Janice’s illness.
There will be a memorial service to cele-
brate Janice’s life November 6, 2021 begin-
ning at 1 p.m. at Bible Missionary Church,

the son of Laurence and Maxine (Smith)
Seim. Tom was an auditor at General Motors
for nearly 50 years. In his free time, Tom
enjoyed golfing, bowling and traveling.
He will be remembered for his kindness,
concern for others, and generosity. Tom’s
even-keeled demeanor and always helping
attitude will be missed by the countless
friends and loving family he leaves behind.
Tom is survived by his stepson, Brian Shultz;
grandchildren, Aaron (Jocelyn) Shultz and
Joshua (Jolene) Shultz; great granddaughter,
Scarlett; brother, Carl (Carol) Seim; several niec-
es and nephews; and com-panion, Betty Hollister.
