When she and her husband retired they bought a motorhome and began to travel around the country. At several places they were "camp hosts". In March, they sold their motorhome and bought their retirement home in Shoshone. Janice was big on attending and cheering on her grand and great-grandchildren in their many different sports events and activities. Janice was a great cook. It is said that she made the best fired chicken ever! She was a seamstress and made a lot of her children's clothes. She made many items from weddings to the care bears she made for her grandkids. She had a beautiful voice. She has sung for weddings, funerals and live Nativities. She loved to go fishing. She had so many great qualities and made so many great memories for her family.
