Janice loved her family. She enjoyed keeping in touch with many family members. She was very interested in her niece and nephews and always wanted updates on their lives. She was a loving daughter that cared for her mother, Jessie Ray, in her last years. She also loved animals of all types. As a young child, she often brought animals to the house stating they were lost and needed a home. In most cases, they were our neighbors’ pets. Later in life, her faithful Australian shepherds, Blue and Bandit, brought her many years of happiness. Janice had many friends and was a member of several bowling leagues. She enjoyed traveling and even took up sewing and made several quilts.
