Janice Rae (Egbert) Johnson

Janice Rae Egbert Johnson, 71, of Rigby, passed away July 29, 2023, at her home.

She was born on February 26, 1952, to George and Carmen Egbert in Pocatello, Idaho. The middle child of nine Egberts, she attended Highland High and was proud of her time as a “Lassie.”She had two children, Brandon and Alicia with her first husband, Larry Jones.

After they divorced, she moved to Idaho Falls and married Curtis Johnson on May 12, 1992.

She worked many years at Key Bank of Idaho and worked her way up as VP at the Pocatello Branch. She also co-owned “Pieces” Custom Dress Shop on Main in Pocatello and was named ABWA Woman of the Year. She worked with several financial firms in the Idaho Falls area.

And that’s the dry stuff. After moving to the outskirts of Rigby, evenings were spent trying to manage a too-big yard and cooking something fun with Jeopardy blaring in the background. There was always time for grandkids and getting together with family. It was about the camping, the pets, fishing, cooking, travel … it was about the lifey stuff … and she loved every bit of it.

A fast and sneaky cancer took her away too quickly on the morning of July 29th.

Her parents and brother, Kent (Monica) Egbert, preceded her in death.

Still sharing this Earth are her brothers and sisters, Bob (Kathy) Egbert of New Hampshire; Kay Fullmer of Pocatello; Suzanne (Robert) Johnson of Ft. Collins; Mike (Patty) Egbert of Omaha; Lea (Rod) Price of McCammon; Jeanne (Ed) Roberts of Pocatello; Carol (Mike) Dunlop of St. George; her children, Brandon (Maria) Jones of Burley; Alicia Tuckett of Pocatello; Shane O’dell of Idaho Falls; eight grandchildren, Tyler, Baylee, Cydnee, Anna, Allie, Caden, Juan, and Austin; and one great-grandchild, Levi.

Way too soon for all the happiness that was still supposed to come for that wonderful lady.

A Celebration of Janice’s life will be held at the Pocatello Elk’s Lodge, 410 S Main St, on Saturday, August 12, 2023, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
