She was born January 20, 1941 in Boise, ID to Virginia and Vernon Allen. She spent her childhood going between Spokane and her grandparents home in Plummer, ID where she created many memories with her Uncle Claire. She met John Bueckers, her husband of 52 years in college where she took business classes. - They spent many years going between their house in Spokane Valley, and cabin in Loon Lake where they lovingly raised two children; David Bueckers of Loon Lake, and Holly Bueckers Ross. Holly is married to Bruce E. Ross and they have a son Bruce J. Ross, all of whom live in Arizona. Janice is also survived by two nieces; Gina Collins of Tehachapi, CA whom is married and has 3 children and 1 grandchild, and Kendelyn Meyers of Lake Mason, WA whom is married and has 2 children and 2 grandchildren. - Her most valued accomplishment, besides taking care of her friends and family, was being a Sewer Commissioner along with Joan Easley and Roger Arleth and raising the grant money needed to install the sewer system at Loon Lake for only $500 per household. She also volunteered at the Loon Lake Loon Assoc. for 35 years.
