She was born in Vincennes, IN on September 17, 1947.
Janet graduated from Arcadia High School and went on to get a degree at Lamson Business College.
She was married to Mark Rice on August 31, 1968, in Phoenix, AZ. Janet worked in the oil business for over 30 years with Exxon and Tosco. She enjoyed playing cards, bowling, traveling, was the moderator at 1st Christian Church, and was active with her sorority Beta Sigma Phi.
Janet was surrounded by a family of athletes. She spent many years traveling to Mark’s softball tournaments, watching their children’s sporting events, and was always attending their four grandsons’ games. It is inevitable that Janet grew a strong passion for sports, and she was always cheering everyone on with passion and was the life of the party.
She is survived by her husband Mark, son Bryan (Sharra), daughter Lori (Matt), and 4 grandsons Tyler, Bryce, Blake and Tanner.
She was a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a friend to many. She will be dearly missed!
RIP Janet, Mom, Grandma We love you!
