Janice Gazza

Janice Elizabeth Gazza, 74, of Revere, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on August 8, 2024, surrounded by family and friends. She was born on February 6, 1950, in Somerville, Massachusetts. Beloved wife of the late Joseph Gazza, retired Revere Firefighter. Devoted mother of Jennifer and Michael Gazza. The loving sister of Marguerite Kelley, late Francis Fournier (wife Mal), and Norman Fournier. Dear daughter of the late Myrtle and Lucian Fournier. Daughter-in-law of the late Antonio and Marie (Errico) Gazza of Revere. Also survived by many dear cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.

Janice, fondly known as Jan to her friends and family, was a loving, generous, and compassionate person who brought joy and comfort to those around her. She was a thoughtful woman, always considering the needs and feelings of others before her own. Janice’s laughter, bubbly and infectious, was the kind that would echo through a room, leaving waves of happiness lingering in the air. No matter how short your interaction was with Jan, she surely left a lasting impression and a smile on your face.

Janice had a long and rewarding career in Juvenile Probation, Edward W. Brooke Courthouse with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, before her retirement. She was a hardworking, dedicated professional who cared deeply about the people she served.

Though we mourn the loss of such a precious soul, it is a comfort to know that Janice's spirit will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew her.  We will continue to celebrate the life of our loving, funny, generous, and thoughtful Janice, remembering the laughter, the love, and the happiness she brought into our lives.
