Janice was a 1958 graduate of Cygnet High School, then worked at Marathon Oil for 8+ years. She was a stay at home, caring for her children for many years, and then went on to work as a Clerk/Treasurer (Fiscal Officer) for 25 years for the village of Bradner. Janice was a member of the Bradner United Methodist Church where she was very involved as a Sunday School Teacher, God Squad, former Board Member, Choir, Lay Leader, and Bible Study just to name a few.
