Janice L. Nigra, age 61 of Little Falls, died peacefully on Monday, March 5, 2012 at the Arbor Glen Center in Cedar Grove.
Janice was born in Paterson and lived in Little Falls her entire life. She was a 1968 graduate of Passaic Valley High School and earned her nursing degree from William Paterson College in 1972. She began her nursing career at New York Hospital, and then spent many years at the Clara Maass Medical Center in Bellville. She had also worked at Beth Israel Hospital in Passaic, as well as with a Hospice service in Butler. She loved nursing and was a very compassionate caregiver to all of her patients.
When she wasn’t working, she truly enjoyed tending to the flowers, planting the garden and maintaining the lawn at her mother’s house in Little Falls. It gave her great satisfaction to keep the yard looking so nice. She could also crochet very well, knit, and do needle point. She was an all-around good crafter. She also had the opportunity to travel around the United States, Mexico, and Spain.
In 1987, at the age of thirty seven, Janice was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She continued to work as a nurse until 1995, when the disease simply made it impossible. The transition from being a caregiver, to needing others to care for her, wasn’t necessarily easy. However, Janice had wonderful people to help her over the years and she is grateful to all of them for their kindness.
Janice is survived by her niece, Tracey Rice of Jersey City and her great-niece, Samantha Rice.
Memorial donations to the Multiple Sclerosis National Research Institute, 11350 SW Village Parkway, Port St. Lucie, FL 34987, www.ms-research.org, would be greatly appreciated.
