Janice was born in Kansas City, Mo., on Aug. 12, 1935.
Education and service to others were always priorities with Janice. She was valedictorian of her graduating class of 1953 at Big Spring High School. She received her bachelor's degree summa cum laude and master's degree from Texas Christian University. At TCU she was a charter member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Throughout her career she was an English teacher, guidance counselor, curriculum coordinator and principal.
Her deep fondness for Big Spring High School led her to be co-founder and newsletter editor of the Big Spring High School Exes Association from 1973 to 2007. She was a longstanding board member and officer of the Big Spring Rotary Club, Big Spring Education Employees Federal Credit Union, Big Spring Symphony Association, Heritage Museum of Big Spring, Salvation Army, Region 18 Education Service Center and Texas Retired Teachers Association.
Janice had been an active member of First Christian Church in Big Spring since 1959. Always an advocate for children, she was an avid volunteer with the Court-Appointed Special Advocates program. After many years of dedicated service to the citizens of Big Spring, Janice was named the 2007 Woman of the Year by the Big Spring Area Chamber of Commerce.
She will always be remembered by her family as a loving, caring, and giving mother, grandmother and spouse.
She was preceded in death by her father, Jack Boardman; her mother, Portia Boardman; and her first husband of 38 years, Harold Rosson.
Survivors: Her husband of 10 years, Lane Bond of Big Spring; her sons and daughters-in-law and grandchildren, Brian and Johnna Rosson and their daughter, Taylor, of Odessa, Barry and Linda Rosson and their sons, Matthew and Zachary, of Boca Raton, Fla., and Blake and Tracey Rosson and their sons, Brett and Hunter, of Aledo.
