In Loving Memory of Janice Mara Glynn
Janice Mara Glynn, a dedicated journalist and devoted community member, passed away at her home on Friday, April 26th, 2024, in Weston, Massachusetts. Born on September 21, 1954, in St. Albans, New York, Janice was the daughter of James and Lorraine Glynn. Her father's military career led the family through various relocations across the United States and Germany, nurturing a resilient and adaptive spirit in Janice from a young age.
A proud graduate of Boston University's Communications program, Janice enjoyed a distinguished career in broadcasting. Her journey began in radio in Connecticut, followed by tenures at channels 7 and 56 in Boston, MA, channel 12 in Providence, RI, channel 4 in Dallas, TX, and New England Cable News. Her professionalism and integrity made her a respected figure on the 6 and 11 o'clock newscasts until she chose to focus on her growing family.
Residing in Weston, MA, she became an active participant in community activities. Her commitment to the town was best characterized by her roles as the president of the Weston Flower Association and as an elected member of the Weston Board of Assessors. She was known by everyone as a gracious, loving, giving, caring, woman who was always available to support and assist others.
Janice leaves behind a loving family: her husband of 44 years, Gary R. Lee; her daughter, Jessica Lee Gobeil and Jessica's husband Marc Gobeil, and their children Theo and Antoine; Janice's sons, Ross J. Lee and Ryan B. Lee and Ryan's wife Zoe Memel; and Janice's sisters, Virginia Glynn Barr and Virginia's husband Harry Barr, and Lorraine Patrice Glynn.
A service to celebrate Janice's life will be held on Saturday, May 6, 2024, at Burke & Blackington Funeral Home in Weston Newton, MA, beginning at 11:00 am.
