Janice L. Hablewitz

Janice Lynn Hablewitz (nee Slicker), 79, peacefully passed away on October 24th, 2024. Born on April 24th, 1945, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she was a devoted Health Unit Clerk for 40 years, providing compassionate care and support to countless patients.


Janice was the beloved wife of Thomas Hablewitz until his passing in 2020. She was the cherished daughter of Gertrude and Roy Slicker (both deceased). Janice is survived by her children Robert Fowler, Deborah Legwinski (Don Harling), Kevin (Tammy) Hablewitz, and Dana Schmitt (Jim Barian); incredibly proud grandmother of Justin, Katie, Brittany, Jacob, Nathan, Amanda, Bella, and great-grandmother of Eli.


She is also preceded in death by her brother Thomas (Olive) Slicker, sister Donna Gigl, brother-in-law Michael Gigl, honorary sister Sharon Winterbottom, and is survived by her sisters Joan Slicker and Carol (Mark) Deprez, along with many nieces, nephews, and friends who will miss her dearly.


Janice found joy in many things, including cheering for Wisconsin sports teams, playing cards and games with family, and crocheting. She had a passion for reading and loved to travel, visiting all 50 states with Tom and enjoying adventures at the Biloxi casinos. Gramma Jan enjoyed hosting Pizza Fridays and stocking the "prize drawer" for her grandchildren.


A private celebration of life will be held at a later date for her family. Jan will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
