Obituary for Dr. Janice Elder
September 17, 1959 - January 25, 2023
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our daughter, sister and friend, Dr. Janice Lorraine Elder, on January 25, 2023, in her 63rd year, after a long courageous battle with ALS. Janice "Jan" is survived by her parents, Murray and Fran, brother Greg (Stephanie) Elder and her nephew, Robert Elder and niece, Gillian (Tom) Elder. She was predeceased by her sister, Nancy Elder. Jan will also be greatly missed by her good friends, Mary and Sheila; cousin, Sharon; and her many friends, colleagues and patients. Jan was born in Windsor, Ontario. She received an undergraduate degree from the University of Windsor in 1983, and a medical degree from the University of Western Ontario in 1988. Jan was a McMaster Radiology Resident from 1988-1993 and Chief Resident in her final year. After completing a fellowship at the University of Toronto, Jan became a staff Radiologist at the then Henderson Hospital in 1994, where she remained on staff for over 20 years. In 2015, Jan joined KMH Diagnostic Centres. Jan received several acknowledgments for her work but was most proud of her recognition for Excellence in Clinical Teaching (twice). From a teaching standpoint, her reach has been far and wide, touching the lives of many doctors who are now spread across the globe. Always an avid athlete, Jan's favorite pastime was to travel with family and friends to play golf, tennis and ski. She cherished spending time with family at the cottage on Georgian Bay. She also shared a great love of literature and the theatre with her mother.
A celebration of Janice’s life and reception will be held on Saturday, February 4, 2023 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Families First, 3260 Dougall Ave. South Windsor, 519-969-5841. Funeral service has already taken place in Toronto on January 28, 2023. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Arthritis Society or the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Forever in our hearts.
