Janice J. Kropidlowski age 58, of Stevens Point, passed away Saturday morning May 6, 2017 at her home surrounded by her loving family.

Janice fought a courageous five-year battle with COPD; she was a fighter, and offered hope and inspiration in the worst of times.

A Celebration of Life service for Janice will be held at 3:30 PM on Wednesday May 10, 2017 at the Shuda Funeral Chapel-Stevens Point. Friends and family will gather to share memories from 2 PM until the time of service at the funeral chapel on Wednesday.

Janice was born September 18, 1958 in Stevens Point, the daughter of Leonard and Marge (Przybylski) Christianson. She graduated from SPASH in 1976. Janice married David L. Krodiplowski on October 6, 1983 at St. Peters Catholic Church. The couple settled in Stevens Point and Janice worked for 10 years at Herrschners before retiring in 2003. Janice was a great cook, and she shared her recipes to many. She enjoyed sewing, making potholders, blankets, and holiday decorations. She spent hours outside planting flowers, feeding the birds, and gardening. Janice most of all, loved her family, and would do anything for them, and they will never forget her smile and laughter.

She is survived by her husband David, and their two children: John Kropidlowski and Jennifer (Jason) Budsberg.

Her sister: Linda Christianson and two brothers: Leonard (Shirley) Christianson and Carl Christianson. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Mark Christianson.
