Obituary of Janice E. Singleton

Palmer/Ware-Janice E. (Gould) Singleton, 76, passed away November 7, 2021. Born in Palmer on May 3, 1945, she was the daughter of Robert E. and Bernice (Felton) Gould. Janice grew up and lived most of her life in Palmer before moving to Ware 20 years ago. In 1992, she graduated top of her class from HCC with her degree in nursing. She then went on and worked at Baystate Medical Center in the NICU/CCN for 18 years until her retirement. Janice surrounded herself with beauty, from her green thumb and flower gardens to rug hooking, cross stitching, and needle punch. She enjoyed sewing and antiques along with time spent on the beach in Maine looking for sea glass. Beyond the love of her family and friends, Janice's heart was filled with her four-legged companion, her toy poodle, Liam. Janice's memory will forever be cherished by her husband of 59 years, Donald G., along with their children, Belinda O'Connor and husband Patrick of Three Rivers, Daniel Singleton and wife Allyson of Enfield, and Marcia Martel of Belchertown, along with daughter-in-law, Dr. Rupal Panchal of Southington, CT. In 2017, Janice was predeceased by her youngest son, Matthew. She will also be dearly missed by her three grandchildren, Ryan and Heather O'Connor, and Nicholas Martel as well as sister-in-law, Vicki Singleton and many nieces and nephews in Illinois. A memorial service and burial will be planned at a later date. Beers & Story Palmer Funeral Home has been entrusted with the arrangements.
