Janice A. Drache, age 83, of Faribault, MN, passed away peacefully on November 30, 2022, at her home following an extended illness.

Janice Ann was born on August 23, 1939, in Faribault, MN, to Adolph and Verena (Schweisthal) Friesen.  She was united in marriage to Eugene “Gene” Drache on April 6, 1962, in Fort Polk, LA.  Janice worked at the Faribault Woolen Mill for 27 years and was the “demo lady” at HyVee in Faribault for 12 years.  She loved to visit with people in the store as she offered food samples to them.  She enjoyed playing bingo and cards, and loved to bake, especially breads.  Most of all, Janice cherished the time with her family and caring for her grandbabies.
