Janice L. Tincher, 79, Logansport, was surrounded by family when she passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, December 30, 2018, in the St. Vincent’s Hospital, Indianapolis.
She was born April 1, 1939, in Medaryville, to Adrian and Myrtle Stephens Carty.
A baton twirler and 1957 graduate of Union Township High School in LaPorte County, Janice and her husband were high school sweethearts. On April 5, 1958, in Kingsford Heights, Indiana, she was married to William “Bill” Tincher, Jr., who survives. Their marriage was sealed at the Manti Temple in Utah.
She was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Janice was a much-loved primary teacher and leader of the Young Women’s programs. She was also active in the Relief Society.
Janice was an awesome mom and wore the title of grandma and great-grandma quite proudly. She was always involved in her children’s activities and supported their classrooms as a room mother and had served as past president of the Franklin PTO. She was an exceptional cook, baking candy, breads, and her signature dish – pumpkin pie – which could not be equaled. Over the years, her talents in needlework were reflected in many ways. She loved to crochet and sew, making prom dresses and costumes for her children. Janice loved the beauty of nature in her yard, especially her roses and the hummingbirds that gathered outside her window.
Surviving with her husband of over 60 years are her children: Theresa (Jim) Carey, Springville, Utah, Billie Jean (Gerald) Williams, Logansport, Angela (Jordan) Sutton, Livonia, MI, Tricia (David) Larsen, Orem, UT, Natalie Tincher, NYC and David Tincher, Logansport; her stepmother, Phyllis Carty, Michigan City; one brother, Larry Joe (Marie) Carty, Menlo Park, CA; one sister-in-law, Jean Edwards, Logansport; ten grandchildren: Jimmy Carey, Cody (Rachel) Williams, Josh Williams, Andrew (Katie) Sutton, Ashley Sutton, Nathan Sutton, Danielle Sutton, Brinley Larsen and twins Tyler and Tanner Larsen; and two great-grandchildren, Olivia Carey and Tabitha Williams.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Adrian Carty and Myrtle Hammond.
