Obituary - Janice Seyfried

Janice Seyfried’s Passing Is A Loss to Many Communities

When I received a recent call from the hospital at 4:00 a.m. that Janice Seyfried had passed away, I was so saddened, even though the prognosis of a recovery wasn’t good. Janice was diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas in June of 2010; however, that didn’t prevent her from giving of herself in so many ways. Up until six weeks before she passed, she continued to be active in the Wantagh Kiwanis Club, as well as with her duties as the public relations chairperson for the New York State District of Kiwanis International. The Wantagh Chamber of Commerce had planned a dinner in her honor to present Janice with their “Citizen of the Year” award, and was to be held on a date just weeks after she passed. Earlier this year, NYS Assemblyman David McDonough awarded Janice a “Woman of Distinction 2010” award for the 19th Assembly District.
