Introduction

Janice was Tennyson and Helen’s only daughter and the middle child of 3. She grew up outside of the town of Nescopeck and completed her high school education at Nescopeck High School in 1942. She married Edward D. Yoder (son of Rufus and Margaret Yoder, Nescopeck PA) on July 29, 1942 and Edward was swiftly drafted into the army, thereafter, in WWII. Edward or “Ed” as he was nicknamed, affectionately nicknamed Janice, Jay. Their oldest son, Earl Yoder, was born shortly after Edward left to fight in WWII. Janice gave birth and raised him on her own for 3 years until Ed returned. 3 years and 1 child after they wed, Edward was finally honorably discharged from the army with special medals of honor and allowed to return home to Janice and his then 3 year old son, Earl. On November 18, 1947 their second son, Daniel Martin Yoder, was born and 11 months following, in 1948, their youngest son, Wayne Clinton Yoder was born. Janice was a devoted wife, mother and homemaker assisting in the family farm and bookkeeping for each of Edward’s business ventures through the years. The last and longest business they ran together being the Nescopeck Service Station and Massey Ferguson dealership which they started in 1967 and sold at their retirement in 1985. During that time they also bred and raised German Shepherd’s. Janice had one white German Shepherd as her faithful companion, Rosy, among several others that protected their farm and businesses. They also raised and sold beef cattle. They also made time to travel frequently in later years. Janice was a member of St. James Lutheran Church and the Ladies Auxiliary where she was best known for her quilting, sewing and culinary skills. Quilting, embroidery and baking amazing pies were just 3 of her favorite pastimes. She was a loving mother of 3 sons and grandmother to 5 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and a few years prior to her death, 1 great, great grandchild. Her family was her greatest treasure and her focus was always on being the glue that held it together. Always, in our hearts.❤️
