side at the Assisted Living at the Hemingford Community Care Center.

Janice worked for the Hemingford Ledger prior to having kids and helping on
the family farm. She enjoyed her family more than anything. She married Darrel
Annen on September 19, 1959. To this union were born John and Lori. She was so
very active in their lives, helping with webelos and blue birds. She also enjoyed her
Extension Club and all the women that were involved. She had many good
memories of events and crafts which they did. She loved to sew clothes for family
and friends and enjoyed embroidering whatever came her way. In later years, she
enjoyed the “Bunco” girls. Many memories were made during game nights. Her
grandchildren were the light of her life. She truly loved teaching them how to shoot
blackbirds and rabbits; drive the “stick” pickup, cook, crafts and most of all play.
