She attended local schools and graduated from Sandpoint High School in 1963. Janice left home after high school graduation to attend Butte Business College in Butte, Montana. It was in Butte where she met the love of her life, Ben Dombroski. Ben and Janice were married on June 22, 1964, and enjoyed 44 years together. They made their home in Butte where they raised three children until moving to Middleton, Idaho, in 2006. Janice stayed home with the family until Ben, a boiler maker for the Anaconda Company, was disabled and could no longer work. She went to work at various positions, including secretarial work for Waite Oil Company, in the kitchen at St. James Hospital, and for several years as a tax accountant for Montana Power in the 1980's. After Montana Power, Janice worked in various roles at Summit Valley Title Company, McLeod Realty, and Kmart. Janice then joined Ben in "retirement" and started traveling. Together, Ben and Janice spent several winters in Bullhead City, Arizona, summers in Butte, and many cross-country trips in between. Janice and Ben joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2005. They were sealed eternally together in the Boise Idaho Temple prior to Ben's death in 2008. Janice continued serving actively in the Church until she moved to the Overland Court memory care facility in Boise in 2017. She loved the Gospel of Jesus Christ, loved serving in the Church, and especially loved ministering to others. Janice was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend to all she met. Janice was preceded in death by her loving husband Ben Dombroski of Butte, Montana; her father and mother, John and Genevieve Bowlby of Sandpoint, Idaho; daughter and son-in-law Joyce and Mark Rautio of Butte, Montana; and grandson Christopher Dombroski. Janice will be greatly missed by those who survive her. They include her sister Betty (Les) Johnson of Newman Lake, Idaho; brother Richard Bowlby of Sandpoint, Idaho; sons and daughters-in-law Robert (Karola) Dombroski of Spokane, Washington, and Ron (Julie) Dombroski of Middleton, Idaho; grandchildren: Brittany (Robert) Gee, Tiffany (William Graves -Boyle) Rautio, Whitley Rautio, Mallory (Dale) Gustafson, James Dombroski, Emma, Alex, Sarah, Timothy, Tanon, and Olivia Dombroski; great-grandchildren: Austen and Samara Gee, Ada Rautio-Boyle, Zenadaya, Zion, Zayna, and Zelina Gustafson; and many nieces and nephews.
