HOLDEN – Janice R. (Mallin) Evanowski passed away peacefully at home on Friday, March 4, 2022 with her loving husband by her side. Born in Worcester, she was the daughter of the late Leo R. and Rita (Harnois) Mallin.
Janice graduated from Commerce High School and shortly thereafter worked as an Executive Secretary at Norton Company in Worcester where she met and fell in love with Walter Evanowski. The two were married in 1967 and started their family in Worcester before residing in Holden.
Janice and her husband started Evanowski Insurance Agency in Worcester, which later became North American Insurance Agency, Inc., where she was a bookkeeper and worked in customer service.
