Janice Marie Yousef (nee Pier), 66, passed away August 3, 2024, at her home in Egypt. She was born August 14, 1957, to William and Beverley (nee Hazel) Pier in Racine, WI. Janice graduated from William Horlick High School Class of 1975. After school she went to work for JI Case Corporation and later worked for many years with WE Energies which she retired from as a member of the American Society of Power Engineers. As a young woman she studied her Christian religion with The Way Ministries. Janice was married to Walter Antongiorgi for 6 years and together they raised their beloved daughter Elissa Maria.

Janice's favorite thing to do was gardening and she loved spending time outdoors. She lived for swimming. She was very creative and enjoyed hobbies such as beading, crocheting and other crafts. Her love of purple was a part of her and made her "Purple Grandma." She was also quite a rockhound and shared this interest with her daughter. She enjoyed the time she spent fishing with her sister, Coco. An animal lover, Janice always had an animal companion.  By far, the most treasured part of her life was her three grandsons who she always made sure had everything they needed.
