Janyce J. Vitek's Obituary
Janyce J. Vitek, age 77, passed peacefully on Friday, August 28, 2020. Born to Elwin and Betty (Vanderweele) Morrison, Jan was a creative soul. She enjoyed dancing as a child to songs like “I’m A Little Teapot.” Jan worked several years for Little Red Shoe House where she helped find the right shoes for customers. She also shared her creative country painting skills with the Heritage Artisans. Jan had recently put her talents to use creating quilts with the Ladies of Hope Quilters.
