Janice June Langdon

Janice J. Langdon, 89, passed away on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, at Care Partners in Appleton, WI.  She was born on September 28, 1934, in Detroit, Michigan, the daughter of William C. and Corinne E. (Marheine) Plots. 

Janice worked as a secretary to Henry Ford at Ford Motor Company before raising a family.  She later returned to administrative work at Harper College in Palatine, Illinois.  After retirement, she and her husband, Bill, fulfilled their dream and built their home in Door County.  Janice especially enjoyed spending most of her time in her three-season room watching the deer and other wildlife traverse the fields. Janice will always be remembered for her artistic abilities that included painting, pen and ink drawings, and of course, her love of knitting.

Janice is survived by her daughter, Gayle A. Hatlak (James) of Appleton, Wisconsin; grandchildren Kate E. Hatlak of Chicago, Illinois, and Adam J. Hatlak (Lexi) of Appleton, Wisconsin; and great-grandchildren Nora E. Hatlak and Owen M. Hatlak.

She was preceded in death by her parents, William Carl Plots and Corinne Edith Mary Marheine Plots; husband William Gilbert Langdon III; son William Gilbert Langdon IV; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Per her wishes, no memorial service will be held.  The family wishes to thank the staff of ThedaCare at Home Hospice for their exceptional compassion and the wonderful providers at Care Partners in Appleton for the love and care they provided while Janice lived there.
