Janice L. Naxera's Obituary
Janice L. Naxera, 82, of Cottage Grove Place, Cedar Rapids, went to be with her Lord and Savior early Friday morning, March 31, 2017, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Funeral Services will be at 11:00 A.M. Thursday at Westminster Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Randi Henderson officiating. Burial will follow at the Czech National Cemetery. Visitation will be from 4 to 8 P.M. Wednesday at Papich-Kuba Funeral Home East, 1228 2nd Street S.E., and after 10:00 A.M. Thursday at the church.
Janice is survived by her husband of 56 years, Victor; children, Lisa Naxera of Austin, Texas and John Naxera and wife Chris, of Swisher; two grandchildren, Alex and Hanna Naxera; sister, Doris Connor of Santa Maria, California; and brother, Donald Eitzman and wife Mary Lou of Gainesville, Florida; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, the Rev. Edwin T. and Lillian B. (Drake) Eitzman and her twin brother, Douglas Eitzman.
Janice was born March 26, 1935 in Madison, Wisconsin and grew up in Holland, Iowa. She graduated from the Iowa State Teachers College High School in Cedar Falls in 1953 and moved to Cedar Rapids in 1954. Jan graduated from Coe College and then from Saint Luke's School of Nursing as a registered nurse. She was employed as a registered nurse in pediatrics at Saint Luke's Hospital for two years before her marriage and then worked one more year before her daughter was born.
Janice married Victor F. Naxera on August 27, 1960 in Cedar Falls. When her children were raised, Jan worked as a health secretary at McKinley High School for 22 years until her retirement.
Jan was a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church for many years and a dedicated volunteer at the Loaves and Fishes food pantry. She was a member of P.E.O. and enjoyed running, and in later years, walking. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, family member and friend. She enjoyed traveling with family and doing mission work.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to the Loaves and Fishes food pantry through Westminster Presbyterian Church.
