Janice Denise Leclerc
Janice Denise Leclerc (nee Eubank) passed away at home in Lake Saint Louis, MO on February 25, 2023. She was the eldest of nine children, born on September 5, 1947 in Detroit, Michigan to Huston and Agnes (nee Simpson) Eubank, both of whom preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Andrea, and brothers, Gary and Vic. Her surviving siblings are Keith, Laurie, Hugh, Bruce, and Daniel.
In 1966, at the age of 19, she married Jean-Charles Leclerc and, together, they welcomed five children: Lisa (William) Hogan, Renee Miller, Stephanie Leclerc, Jean-Paul (Dee Dee) Leclerc, and Natalie (Brian) Zenk. She spent the next several years on the important task of raising her family and being a wonderful mother. Janice and Jean later divorced but remained friends until his death in 2013.
When her children were in their teenage years, Janice went back to school and became a Registered Nurse working on the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at Barnes Hospital. She was compassionate, kind, gentle, and tireless in providing care to and advocating for her patients. After approximately ten years of practicing, she had to disappointedly take early retirement due to her diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease.
Her hobbies included: reading, traveling, shopping, and crafting. She LOVED Bingo, jewelry, angels, and the color red! As Parkinson’s slowed her in her later years, she enjoyed going to the movies, listening to Andrea Bocelli, watching TV game shows and the Lifetime Channel, and playing Words with Friends on her tablet.
She is lovingly survived by her five children, 15 grandchildren (Amber (Adam), Drake, Taylor, Ashley, Heather, Tyler, Matthew, Nicolas, Joshua (Brittney), Miranda, Andrew, Tim (Nick), Victoria, Jace, and Skylar), as well as 16 great-grandchildren.

I had the pleasure of working with Janice on the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit. She always worked the night shit, so my interactions with her were shift change report. She cared for her patients & took great care of them. She was always kind& fun to be around. May she Rest In Peace❤️
My bingo friend is missed dearly! She loved her bingo and pull tabs and often told me how much she loved angel’s.
She is in the arms of those angels now.
MISS YOU FRIEND!
I remember working with her on the floor in my early days of being a nurse. She was always so kind and supportive of her fellow nurses especially the newbies! What a beautiful person inside and out…

I will miss my oldest sister Janice,I just wish I could have been a n her life More often.i remember the day’s probably about 30 years ago when I went down to Missouri to visit,how much she liked doing her own pottery work with the kiln & every thing!
I also remember the day’s of baby sitting her kids while her and my mother would go to bingo together,when she lived in Canada!
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. She will be missed, but never forgotten. My mother Ruth O Wallace (Houston’s sister) and myself Brenda Kreutter (Ruth’s Daughter) would like to keep in touch with the family. Ruth is the last living sibling of Houston Eubank out of twelve children.
We love ❤️ you and Janice will be surely missed.
Love,
Ruth Wallace and Brenda Kreutter
