Lodi’s volunteer supreme, Janet Wilcox, dies at 94

Janet Wilcox was not one of those people who wanted to make a name for herself or be in the paper. She was well known, however, as the consummate volunteer at places like the Lodi Police Department, Lodi Public Library, People Assisting Lodi Shelter and the American Cancer Society.

Wilcox, a Lodi resident since 1956, died Jan. 30 after a brief bout with cancer. She was 94.
