She was born and raised in the Lebanon, Missouri area, and lived most of her life in and around Lebanon. Through the years, she was a devoted homemaker to her family, and had also worked for the H. D. Lee Company and most recently, for Emerson Climate Technologies, LLC in Lebanon.
In her spare time she enjoyed crocheting and doing various craft projects. She was an avid player of video games and spent a lot of her time perfecting her gaming skills. She was a very quiet, independent person with a generous heart and a deep inner strength. Her family was very important to her and she especially enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren.
Janice was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her lifetime.
