Obituary for Janice Susan (Robillard) Tessier
Janice S. Tessier, 81, of West Warwick and formerly of East Greenwich and Woonsocket, passed away on November 30, 2022, at Kent County Memorial Hospital following a brief illness.
Born in Woonsocket on January 5, 1941, to the late Harold and Lillian (Frechette) Robillard, she and her brother, Richard, who predeceased her, were raised and educated in Woonsocket. Janice was a graduate of Woonsocket High School. She completed nursing school in Cambridge, MA, then enjoyed a long career in a variety of clinical and administrative settings including the Women & Infants Hospital in Providence.
Janice was most proud of raising her family. She coveted family gatherings, most especially holiday celebrations and the requisite cooking for which she had a gourmet flair. Her social calendar was filled with countless dates with close friends for camaraderie, good food, much laughter, and perhaps a little mischief! Janice thoroughly enjoyed all life’s experiences and adventures.
Mourning her passing but celebrating her life are her four children who she loved deeply (and in equal measure, “25%" each!) and their spouses, David Tessier (Margaret Cronin) of Montana, Christopher Tessier (Heather) of Oregon, Nicole Nassaney (Patrick) of Massachusetts, and Danielle Morra (Paul “PJ”) of California. Her granddaughters, Samantha Tessier, Kylie Morra, and Hayden Morra were the source of unending joy.
Janice was a faithful parishioner, communicant, and active member at St. Joseph’s Church in West Warwick. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated there on Thursday, December 22nd, at 10am, followed by a private burial.
Per the family’s request, in lieu of flowers please consider donating to the Lymphoma & Leukemia Society of America or a charity of one's choice. Arrangements entrusted to the Berarducci Home & Cremation Care Center, Woonsocket.
