Obituary of Janice M. Furr

LeRoy ~ Surrounded by her adoring family, our precious mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, Aunt, Second Mom to many and friend, Janice Furr, passed away on June 16, 2024.

     She was born January 28, 1937 in Batavia, a daughter of the late Mitchell and Eunice Little Swede.

     Janice was her family’s North Star. Selfless and sincere, she was always the first to offer to help – whether a ride to work, a place to stay, or a shoulder to lean on. Her home was always a place of warmth and comfort. And absolutely nothing brought her more joy throughout the years than seeing her family all together enjoying each other.

     A devout believer in God, Janice always emphasized the importance of tolerance, kindness and sacrifice. Though make no mistake, she was not shy to share her point of view if she felt that was needed. Her manner of voicing opinions is legendary and will live on for generations.

     She is survived by her children, Danny Miller, Mike (Deanna) Miller, Dennis Miller, Vicky (Mark) Iafrati, Brenda Caccamise (Jim D’Angelo), Debbie Bridgeman and Julie (Rick) Laurie; step-children, Don (Suzy) Furr, Pamela Furr, Chris (Bob) Caracci and Cindy Furr, along with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and dear friends.

     In addition to her parents, Mitchell and Eunice, she was predeceased by her husband, Robert Furr; sister, Betty (Robert) Pursel; sons-in-law, Philip Caccamise and Everette Bridgeman and the father of her children, Daniel T. Miller.

     Family and friends may call on Thursday, June 20 from 4 ~ 7 PM at the Falcone Family Funeral & Cremation Service Inc., 8700 Lake St. Rd., LeRoy.  Her Rite of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, June 21 at 11:00 AM at Our Lady of Mercy Parish, 44 Lake St., LeRoy.  Interment in St. Francis Cemetery will be private.
