Janice always enjoyed the outdoors and would often accompany her father hunting or trapping. As a young girl she even had her own coon hound. She was taught how to plant and care for a garden and to can the produce. Her work ethic started young working in the garden and picking the many fruits her father and mother grew. It continued when she waitressed at Cox’s Drug Store in Cuba, IL. She then took a break and visited her Uncla and Aunt, Wayne and Allenie Boyd in Portland, OR, for a month’s worth of travelling in the northwest. Upon returning to Illinois she began working at Hagley’s Dairy in Canton, IL as a cook. She then married Clayton and helped raise 4 children.
