Afterwards, they moved back to Frank’s hometown in North Bend and started their family. In 1967 they purchased property adjacent to the family’s old cranberry farm near the Oregon Dunes in Hauser. They built a new access road through the dunes and built a home and raised their family.

Janice was very family oriented and a loving mother. She was a true friend to all she knew. She loved hosting many family and friend events at her home. She enjoyed working in her yard growing beautiful plants and flowers. She loved traveling with her family in their motorhome and exploring the back country on their ATV’s .
