Janice Ann Chadbourne, 91, of Bridgton, died in the comfort of the same home she was born in on Elm Street, surrounded by her loving family on Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2024.

She was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star and Chickadee Quilters.

Janice enjoyed many winters in Myrtle Beach with Glenn, gardening, the company of the birds she fed around her home, her garden, playing the piano, and especially time with her family and her beloved cat Toby. The annual “Christmas in July” family gathering at the house was always one of her favorite times of the year.
