Vernon for nine years and brought four children into this marriage. The couple made their fi rst home in Ritter and began ranching. Janice was a devoted wife and mother. She raised a large garden every year and canned so the rewards could be appreciated all year. Her weekly ritual of bak- ing bread and cinnamon rolls were a favorite. She could take very little and make a gourmet meal. She loved to have company and she fi xed a wonderful meal and nobody would leave feeling hungry. Jan- ice began working for the Long Creek School district for 27 years as a dedicated school bus driver. She drove activity bus to many sporting events and never had a lost time accident. Janice loved to hunt and fi sh. Many deer and elk seasons would see her bagging her game with her favorite 30-30 rifl e. She was most proud of her Angus herd that she and Robert started in the 1950s. She was an outstanding cowgirl who broke many horses and trained them for cutting. She was most comfortable being on her ranch. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband of 53 years Rob- ert, and son William. Janice is survived by her son Gerald of Ritter, daughter Belinda (Larry) Ellis of Lincoln City, daughter Benita (Tony) Britt of Baker City; fi ve grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
