General Order # 9 – Death of Janice Mae Corfman, PNP, LGAR

General Order #9
Series 2018-2019
27 February 2019

1. It is my sad duty to report the passing of Janice Mae Corfman, Past National President of the
Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic. She passed on Tuesday, February 26, 2019. Sister
Janice served as National President for the LGAR in the 1985-1986 term. She was also active in
that Order for a considerable number of years serving twice as Ohio Department President and
for 28 years as National Treasurer of the LGAR, taking a break for one year to fill the presidency
of the organization. She was preceded in death by her husband, SUVCW Past Commander in
Chief Charles W. Corfman.
2. Out of respect for this dedicated Past National President of one of the Allied Orders, and as a
well-deserved final honor, I now order that the Charters of all SUVCW Departments and Camps
be draped, and that all brothers attach a black mourning ribbon to their membership badges. This
Order shall remain in effect for 30 days from this date.

Ordered this 27th Day of February, 2019
