Alice Marie (Kapsa) Janowiak

August 16, 1914 - August 4, 2014

Alice M. Janowiak of Bell, California, entered into eternal life on August 4, 2014 at the age of 99, just 12 days shy of her 100th birthday.

Alice was married for 62 beautiful years to Leo Janowiak, who preceded her in death.

Alice is survived by her children: Judy Emard and son-in-law Warren Emard and Rev. Paul Janowiak, S.J.; her four grandchildren: Jeff Emard, Mark Emard, Carrie Day, Katie Knapp and their spouses; and her 9 (soon to be 10) great grandchildren, who brought her endless joy.

She was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Above all, Alice was devoted to God and her faith. She was an expert baker and had a soft spot in her heart for sweets and fast food, although one of her secrets to longevity was everything in moderation.

Late in life, her famous quote that always made her family smile when food was served was, "Just a little bit. Not too much!"

Alice will be missed by all who loved her.

A rosary will be held at McAulay and Wallace in Fullerton on Friday at 7:30 pm. Funeral Mass on Saturday at 10 am at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Placentia. Her final resting place will be at All Souls Catholic Cemetery in Long Beach, California.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Vincent de Paul at Saint Joseph parish or the Jesuits Oregon Providence at PO Box 86010, Portland, OR 97286.
