Janice Freeman Crooker

Janice I. (Freeman) Crooker, 80, passed away on Friday August 4, 2023 at Beaumont Rehab and Skilled Nursing Center in Westborough. She was the wife of the late Richard W. Crooker who died in 2016.
Janice was the loving mother of Daniel & Danielle Higgins of Westbrook, ME, Walter & Sharon Higgins of Millville, MA, Rebecca & Mark Perry of Douglas, MA, Liesl & Peter Christie of Needham, MA and Pamela Higgins of Southbridge, MA. She was blessed with 10 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by a brother, Irving Freeman.
Janice was born in Boston in 1943, the daughter of the late Gilbert M. and Muriel (Goodenough) Freeman and was a graduate of Natick High School. A longtime resident of Mendon, she worked as a bookkeeper for Lincoln Fasteners and Horizons Unlimited Travel for several years before her retirement.
Janice enjoyed traveling the globe with her husband, spending time with her family and making the occasional purchase or two on the QVC network. Her grandchildren called her "Gigi" and soon anyone who knew and loved her did the same. Gigi will forever be in our hearts.
Graveside funeral services will be held on Wednesday, August 16, 2023 at 11:30 AM in Quaker Cemetery, George Street, Mendon.
