Janis Maio Obituary

Janis Maio (Foxwell) left us Wednesday morning due to unexpected heart failure. She was preceded in death by her parents Dave and Betty Foxwell. She is survived by husband "J" John Langdon, daughter Marissa (Maio) Rocheleau, son Tyler Maio, step daughter Amanda Langdon, and son-in-law Andrew Rocheleau. She dearly loved her grandchildren Wyatt and Dean. She will also be missed by her brothers Bob, Mark and Scott Foxwell and their wives and children.

Janis was a long time resident of Colorado Springs. She graduated from Cheyenne Mountain High School and became a prominent business woman as CEO and owner of Service Typographers.

From childhood, little britches rodeo riding and ski racing, to her adult life sailing, ice car racing, and other outdoor activities, Janis lived her life to the fullest. In recent years she loved RVing with J, close friends and beloved dog Charlie.

We will never forget the love and laughter she brought to us all.

In lieu of flowers please make a donation to Michael J. Fox Foundation.
