Janice Elaine Seale, 86, of Cleveland, Ohio, passed away peacefully on September 5, 2024. She was born on November 11, 1937, to Conrad and Ethel Hoffman in Cleveland, where she was raised and spent most of her life.

Janice was the devoted wife of Jim B. Seale for 66 years, with whom she owned and operated Clearview Glass, a family business located in Strongsville, Ohio. Together, they built a successful business that served their community for many years.

She was a loving mother to her daughter, Patti Haynes, and son-in-law, James Haynes, whom she loved like a son and affectionately nicknamed "Henry" after a mix-up with the wedding minister. Janice was also a proud grandmother to her two grandsons, Michael Haynes, engaged to Kate Dargan, and Zachary Haynes, married to Stephanie Haynes, with their newborn son and Janice's cherished great-grandson, Hudson Haynes.

Janice was preceded in death by her parents, Conrad and Ethel Hoffman.

Her passions included cooking, baking, and reading, with a special love for mystery novels. Janice deeply valued time spent with her family, especially her relatives from Alabama and Oklahoma, with whom she shared many fond memories. She was known for her kind and generous spirit, always willing to lend a hand to those in need.

Janice will be remembered as an incredible woman, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. Her legacy of warmth, care, and devotion to her family will forever be cherished.
