Janice M. Coleman

Janice M. “Jan” Coleman, 87, a longtime Norwich resident, died on Tuesday, September 29, 2026 in comfort of her home.

Born on September 21, 1939, in Lemmon, South Dakota, Jan was a daughter of the late Marion and Ruth (Texley) Foreman. She grew up in Montana where she attended school. With her first husband, Jan moved to Norwich where she worked at the Norwich Knitting Mill as a machine operator for her entire career.

Jan was a member of both the American Legion and VFW where she could often be found playing cards Mondays and Fridays. Jan enjoyed football pools – especially at Superbowl and spending time with her friends.

Jan is survived by her two sisters, Elaine Gokey, of Tuscan, Arizona, and Debbie Connolly, of Newnan, Georgia; several nieces and nephews; and her good friend, Jean (Bob) Goodrich, of Norwich, New York. She was predeceased by her two husbands, Richard Deady and Frederick Coleman.

To honor Jan’s wishes, there will be no formal funeral services.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted with the Wilson Funeral Home.
