On Thursday, May 28, 2015, after a long and valiant battle with cancer our sweet loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Janice Dodson, passed on to her heavenly home.
Janice was born March 30, 1936 to Noah Dee and Nancy Tate. She was born and grew up in Kimberly, Idaho, attending both elementary and high school there. She will always be remembered by her family and many friends as having a friendly and gentle personality despite suffering with chronic physical pain from a neck injury incurred many years ago.
Janice enjoyed maintaining a beautiful lawn and tending her flowers and shrubs. In addition to being a devoted mother and loving grandmother, she served with love and compassion, helping her daughter on a daily basis, as a caregiver to her grandson, Brody who suffered with Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy, until his death at age 18. She was a faithful and devoted Christian and a member of the Nazarene Church from her early youth until the time she passed from this earth. Almost, without exception, all of the writings in her journal ended with, "thank you Jesus".
Janice is survived by her loving husband of 61 years, Don Dodson, son, Gary (Marnie) Dodson, daughter, Jana Evans, grandchildren, Sean, Lindsay and Amanda Dodson and a special little girl, Aleiyah, great-granddaughter.
She was preceded in death by her parents and all of her siblings and grandsons, Seth Dodson and Brody Albertson.
