Janice Helena Wolter
Jan. 27, 1943 – March 2, 2025

Janice Helena Wolter, age 82, passed on Sunday, March 2, 2025. Born on Jan. 27, 1943, in Camrose, Alta., she was the beloved firstborn of Erna and Reinhold Wolter. Janice spent her early years on the family farm near Armena, Alta., where her love of learning and curiosity about the world began.

After high school, she studied at Prairie Bible College. She attended Calgary General Hospital for three years and obtained her nursing diploma. She pursued a Bachelor of Nursing at the University of Alberta, which led her to work in public health in Wabasca, Alta. Eager to expand her skills, Janice moved to Scotland to study midwifery and later completed a Health Visitor’s course, allowing her to work as a public health nurse in Glasgow. She spent nine years in Scotland before returning to Alberta, where she continued her work in healthcare.

Never one to stop learning, Janice later moved to Vancouver to pursue a Master of Theology, reflecting her deep faith and intellectual curiosity.

Beyond her professional life, Janice had many passions, including orchids, quilling, politics, theology and cherishing time with friends and family. Her kindness, wisdom and unwavering faith touched the lives of many.
Janice will be deeply missed by her brother Everett Wolter, sister Brenda Klosse (Gerald), Clifford Cardinal (Rhoda), favourite nephew Nathan Klosse (Dani), and numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, and dear friends from both Canada, U.S.A., and Scotland. Although she is no longer with us here on earth, her memories will comfort us.

A celebration of Janice’s life will be held on Friday, March 14, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. at the Bethel Union Evangelical Free Church in Leslieville, Alta. Lunch will follow at the Leslieville Community Hall.
