Janice Diket passed away peacefully at home at age 94 on July 1, 2024 surrounded by her loving family. She was born July 17, 1929, in Gretna, Louisiana and subsequently moved to Algiers, where she lived for many years. She is survived by her beloved sister, Anna Gerard; beloved daughter, Jane Colna (Paul); and son, Chris Diket (Maureen). She is also survived by her beloved grandchildren, Capt. Timothy Seidell (Sheila), Jason Diket, Johnathan Diket, and Melissa Murphy (Capt. Brian), as well as her beloved great-grandchildren, Laine Murphy, Jack Seidell, Addison Diket, and Chloe Murphy.

Janice was a person of faith and an active parishioner of St. Andrew Church. Affectionally known as “Maw Maw” or “Aunt Jenny”, Janice loved her family and friends immensely and they loved her right back tenfold.
