Carol Janoplis, 77
Nurse was devoted to helping others
Carol (Santos) Janoplis, 77, of Provincetown, died Tuesday, June 17, at her home in the company of her family following a long illness. She was the wife of the late Michael “Uncle Junior” Janoplis, who died last month.
Born in Provincetown, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Madeline Santos. After graduating from Provincetown High School in 1949, she fulfilled her desire to help others by entering the nursing field. In 1951 she graduated from St. Luke’s Hospital nursing school in New Bedford. In 1956 she married the love of her life, Michael Janoplis. They had two children, Donna Hough, of Brewster, who is married to Jerry Hough, and Darin Janoplis, of Provincetown.
Mrs. Janoplis will be remembered as a quiet, caring woman whose first love was her family. She was known for her kindness and compassion for both people and animals, and a life-long appreciation of the beauty of flowers. She found quiet fulfillment in the belief that she was able to help others through donations to several different organizations. Some of the charities she cared about were the Jane Goodall Gorilla Foundation, Brewster Animal Rescue League, Covenant House, Lower Cape Outreach, Christian Children’s Foundation and Smile Train, an organization providing free cleft surgery to children around the world. She was also a life-long member of St. Peter the Apostle parish in Provincetown.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 20, in St. Peter the Apostle Church, 11 Prince St., Provincetown, followed by burial in St. Peter the Apostle Cemetery. Visiting hours are Thursday 4 to 7 p.m. at the Gately-McHoul Funeral Home, 94 Harry Kemp Way, Provincetown.
