Born on July 8, 1937, in Clearfield, PA, she was the daughter of John Edward and Lorana (Hallock) Hipps.
Janice was a member of West Side United Methodist Church.
She graduated in 1955 from Clearfield Area High School.
On January 19, 1957, in Clearfield, Janice wed the love of her life, Donald Lee Rowles. Her family grew from there and she welcomed 5 children into the world. While she embraced her role as homemaker, Janice maintained an independent streak throughout life. She was incredibly self-reliant and was often found tinkering away on a home improvement project. Janice enjoyed the thrill of finding all sorts of treasures and collectibles at yard sales. Some of her happiest memories were those made at the beach and at the family camp. She had a notorious sweet tooth and never missed the opportunity to share an ice cream or cookie with loved ones. Her dogged individualism and energy will be sorely missed.
Janice is survived by three children, Daniel S. Rowles and his wife, Charlinda of Curwensville, PA, Robert A. Rowles and his wife, Kristen of Albion, PA, Nicole R. Rowles of Parkesburg, PA, one son-in-law, David P. Anderson of Clearfield, PA; nine grandchildren, Jessica Richards, Kaitlyn Reichel and her husband, Zachary, Ashlee Kosar and her husband, Andrew, Brandi Rowles, David Anderson and his wife, Kristi, C.G. Anderson and her husband, Zachary, Talia Kline, Don Kline, Rheya Kline and 12 great-grandchildren.
She is also survived by four siblings, Barbara Lewis of St. Mary’s, PA, Merlyn Knepp of Louden, TN, Jackie Anderson of Frenchville, PA, John Hipps and his wife, Rhonda of Mifflinville, PA, numerous nieces and nephews.
Janice is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, two daughters, Carole D. Rowles, Patricia Lee Anderson, two brothers, Richard and William Hipps, and one sister, Susan Lynne Hipps.
