Janice C. (Klimek) Millets, 83, formerly of Fountain Hill, died Sept. 28, 2026, at her home in Northampton. Born in Allentown to the late Alfred Klimek and Frances (Brader) Klimek, she was the wife of John J. Millets Jr. for 64 years. The couple celebrated their wedding anniversary on Sept. 1.
She dedicated much of her life to caring for others through her career as a registered nurse. She attended Allentown Central and graduated from the Fitzgerald Mercy Hospital School of Nursing. She later earned an associate degree from Northampton Community College. She worked for seven years in the nursery at Sacred Heart Hospital and later spent nine years as a visiting nurse with St. Luke’s.
Janice enjoyed traveling and reading, but nothing meant more to her than her family and the time they shared together.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by: children John J. Millets III and his wife, Deb, of Whitehall, JoAnne Palenchar of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, James A. Millets and his wife, Gwen, of Whitehall, Jeffrey M. Millets and his wife, Karen, of Hellertown, and Janine Hechler and her husband, Peter, of Bethlehem; her brother, Michael Klimek of Hawaii; 11 grandchildren; and four great grandchildren.
