Janice Moulton

Dunedin, FL - Janice (Farnsworth) Moulton, 68, died on April 23, 2015, after an extended illness. Born and raised in Madison, WI, she was a member of Alpha Xi Delta sorority at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she received a Bachelors of Science in Education and a Masters of Science in Behavioral Disabilities. She conducted her master's degree research in Sweden on visual perception and reading readiness and co-created an assessment instrument for children. She was a teacher for 30 years, retiring in 2012. She taught at Midvale Elementary in Madison and Hoover Elementary in Neenah. She was the founder and owner of My Day Out preschool in Wauwatosa. She then moved to Clearwater, Florida in 1984, where she taught at Calvin A. Hunsinger School until her retirement.

Jan's passions were teaching and advocating for children with special needs, and raising her children. She took a hiatus from teaching from 1974-1989 in order to devote her time to being a stay-at-home mom to Stephanie and Bill. Once appearing in Florida Sportsman magazine, Jan was very athletic and loved the outdoors. She was an expert in sewing and cooking, and was an excellent hostess, enjoying the art of socializing. She carried herself with class and had a great sense of style.

Jan is survived by her daughter, Dr. Stephanie (Moulton) Sarkis of Boca Raton, FL; her son and caretaker, William C. Moulton, of Dunedin, FL; her former husband, Claude R. Moulton of Jacksonville, FL; and her sister, Susan (Farnsworth) Erickson of Longmont, CO. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lois (Neill) Farnsworth and Ralph L. Farnsworth, and her beloved grandfather, William C. Farnsworth. Visitation will be held from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 30, 2015 at CRESS FUNERAL HOME, 3610 Speedway Road, Madison.
