Janice leaves her family and friends with many wonderful memories; especially the summers spent at the family cabin on Woman Lake in Minnesota and the family's memorable trip to the 1982 Rose Bowl game. Her life was centered around her family, which was a constant source of joy. Janice was a long time member of the United Methodist Church. Frank and Janice were loyal Iowa Hawkeye fans. She was proud to be the great-great-great-great granddaughter of the American patriot, Patrick Henry.
