Janice A. Clow

Janice Agnes Clow (Nawrocki) was born on December 30, 1933, in her family home in Germantown, New York and made her heavenly debut on September 14, 2023 with her family by her side. Janice was a graduate of Germantown High School. She was a devout Catholic and a member of Holy Trinity Parish (St. Mary’s Church) in Hudson, New York. Prior to having her two daughters, she worked as a bookkeeper at Craig Thorne Insurance Company. She lovingly raised her children and then returned to the work force at St. Mary’s Rectory for 20 years. Janice enjoyed working with her family on weekends at the Cherry Ridge Farm in Greenport, along with Duncan’s Farm Stand in Leeds, where many laughs and fun times were shared. She then moved on to work at the Home for the Aged where she took care of the senior residents until her retirement. Janice became a “prayer warrior” and spoke to God daily on behalf of those she loved. During her life she was blessed with many loyal friends whom she loved and deeply appreciated. Some of her favorite past times were bus trips to the Casino with her friends (especially sister Mary and brother-in-law Ralph Grand), Cruising to Bermuda, winning money on scratch-off tickets, spending Thanksgivings with sister Vinny Rubino and playing cards with sister Dot Brown and brother Irv Nawrocki along with good friends. Christmas caroling was a big hit with the whole family and singing with her older brother Joe Nawrocki as he played the accordion. Along with spending valuable time with her family and friends, she attended Mass regularly until physically unable. One of her greatest pleasures was watching and praying for the Yankees, especially Derek Jeter and Aaron Judge. The loves of her life were her beloved grandchildren Jay, Ali, and Derek and she lit up whenever they were around. Janice was predeceased by her parents Alexandra (Alice) Nawrocki and Joseph Nawrocki Sr. She was the third of 6 children and predeceased by her siblings Dorothy Brown, Joseph Nawrocki Jr., Irvin Nawrocki, and Mary Grand. She was also predeceased by her husband Lawrence “Bubby” Clow and his sister Norine Clow Allen. She is survived by her sister Venencia (Vinny) Rubino, brother-in-law Ralph Grand, and sisters-in-law Rosalind Clow Izzo and Kyle Clow Clanton. Janice is also survived by her daughters Cheryl Clow and Lynne Finn, son-in-law Jason Finn, grandson John (Jay) DelVecchio (Skylar), granddaughter Alexandra (Ali) DelVecchio (Brandon), grandson Derek Finn, and “adopted son” James (Jimmy) Sweet, “bonus daughter” Donna Griffen who provided abundant comfort, support, and loving care. She also leaves behind many beloved nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly and loved spending time with. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Father Anthony, Father Bath, and the Holy Trinity Parish Lay Ministers who provided Holy Communion and spiritual support especially during her last days; Linda Meicht, Bea Finn, Stephanie Keyser, Helen Skabowski, Chris Bucholsky, and Michael Van Allen. Calling hours will be held on Wednesday, September 20th from 4:00 – 7:00 pm at the Bates & Anderson funeral home, 110 Green St. Hudson NY. A Mass of Christian burial will take place on Thursday, September 21st at St. Mary’s Church at 10:00am at 429 E Allen St. in Hudson NY. In lieu of flowers the family respectfully requests donations be made to Holy Trinty Parish (Saint Mary’s Church), 429 E Allen St, Hudson NY 12534. Janice always believed in wearing the individual’s favorite color to their services rather than black. For those planning to attend services, the family supports you wearing pink in celebration of her life.
