They lived in Mt.
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.
At Janice's request there
will not be a funeral. She
always said "come see me
when I'm alive and when
I'm gone, think of me do-
ing the things I enjoyed
most!" Tthe family added,
"There will not be a day,
that we do not remember
all of the things that she
enjoyed doing the most."
