Janice Windh

Janice Windh (née McCarthy) was born December 31, 1956 in Queens, New York.  She died May 21, 2022 at the age of 65 surrounded by family.

Jan grew up the youngest of four siblings on Long Island. She loved dogs and horses and rode show jumpers competitively. Jan received a bachelor’s degree in animal husbandry from Delaware Valley University and worked with farmers for several years before pursuing further studies in agricultural economics at Texas A&M.

Following graduate school, Jan moved all over the country raising three children and renovating houses in California, Idaho, and Ohio. In 1999, she settled on her dream ranch in Reedley: 40 acres of vineyards on the Kings River in California’s Central Valley. Jan lived out her days on the ranch she loved—relaxing with her dogs, growing abundant flowers and vegetables in her garden, and listening to the cries of the hawks.

Jan is preceded in death by her parents William and Anna McCarthy, her father and mother-in-law Sivert “Ron” and Arlene Windh, and her grandson Thomas Hammill. She is survived by her children Jennifer (Michael), Jessica, and Randall, her grandchildren Evelyn and Adam, her former spouse Steven, and her siblings Ann, Marjorie, and William (Anna Marie).

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, July 9 at 3:00 pm at Dopkins Funeral Chapel, 2200 S Reed Ave, Reedley, CA 93654.
