JANETTE RICE WAS BORN ON MAY 11, 1978 TO THE LOVING UNION OF DIXIE AND CORA RICE IN DAYTON, OHIO. SINCE THAT DAY, SHE HAS BEEN A LIGHT TO ALL THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED HER PRESENCE.
JANETTE WAS A LOVER OF HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS, BUT A LOVER OF GOD MORE THAN ANYTHING. SHE HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD TO BE ASPIRED. WHILE THIS IS A SAD OCCASION FOR US READING THE OBITUARY, JANETTE WOULD OFTEN REFER TO THIS DAY AS HER GRADUATION.
WE REJOICE IN THIS THOUGHT!
JANETTE WAS A CULINARY ENTHUSIAST, A "FOODIE". WE KNOW THAT IN HEAVEN SHE IS ENJOYING HER 2 OTTERS THAT SHE WANTED. SHE IS ALSO ENJOYING A GOOD CARD GAME, SOME MUSIC, AND SHE IS LIKELY THE ONE SINGING.
HER BOISTEROUS RASPY LAUGH IS GOING TO BE MISSED.
JANETTE IS PRECEDED IN DEATH BY HER PARENTS, DIXIE AND CORA RICE, HER AUNT DEBBIE AND UNCLE CHARLES (LORETTA), AND HER PATERNAL AND MATERNAL GRANDPARENTS.
JANETTE IS SURVIVED BY HER SISTER, TRACY (DAVID) COCHRAN, BROTHER, CRAIG (ADRIENNE) RICE. NEPHEWS CRAIG JR. AND ANTHONY. NIECES, QUIERRA, AALIYAH, AND ESSYNCE. SPECIAL AUNT ANGEL, AND FRIEND TURNED FAMILY, MEGAN SCHROEDER. SHE WAS ALSO VERY FOND OF THE FRIENDSHIP SHE SHARED WITH DUANE JONES. A HOST OF OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS, AND COLLEAGUES REMEMBER JANETTE WITH LOVE.
