“You’re off to great places!

Today is your day!

Your Mountain is waiting,

So…get on your way!

Dr. Seuss, “The Places You’ll Go”

I’m off on my next adventure, but what a wonderful life I’ve had!

I, Janice Poulin Buffo, was born December 13, 1926, in Oak Park, Illinois. I was married to the love of my life for 45 years until 1991 when my amazing husband Bill was taken too soon. Two became seven; William (Jane) Buffo Jr.; Leslie (Chuck) Danielson; Elizabeth (Steve) Mortenson; Tom (Laurie) Buffo; and Michael (Becky) Buffo who preceded me in death in 1981. I was blessed with ten grandchildren and soon-to-be thirteen great-grandchildren. I was a devout Catholic. I traveled to all five continents. I divided my time between my homes in Madison and San Diego always accompanied by one of my many dogs. I was an avid bridge and Scrabble player. I enjoyed gardening and painting. Most of all, I loved spending time with family and friends. As Sinatra would sing “I did it my way”, all the way to the very end. A private interment will be held September 27th in Iola, Wisconsin, followed by a larger celebration of life when that becomes possible. Donations can be made to St. Paul’s Catholic Foundation in Madison. Voie Funeral Home, 120 S. Main St, Iola, WI.  54945, 715-445-2560, is assisting the family with arrangements.
