Graduating in 1955, Janice performed as a majorette with the Palestine High School Band and represented the area as Miss Anderson County. Upon moving to Houston in the late 50's, she began a 20 year career owning and operating dance and baton twirling studios in Houston, Deer Park and Palestine. Her students won State Championship titles in both twirling and drill team competitions and performed in parade events around the U.S.
She returned to formal education in 1978, earning both B.S. and M.S Degrees in Secondary Education from the University of Houston/Clear Water in '82 and '84. Her passion and talent for the arts led her to become a middle school art teacher for the next ten years in Marietta and Douglasville, Georgia. During this time, she was honored as Outstanding Art Educator of the Year by the National Art Educators Association. She was often selected to teach workshops and attend simmer internship programs at the nationally acclaimed Savannah College of Art and Design.
Upon her retirement to Hilton Head, S.C. she remained active as a volunteer in the local arts community, hosted sea turtle night walks with the Coastal Conservation League and enjoyed travel to distant beaches and mountains. In 2012, she returned to Friendswood, Texas to live close to her daughter and family.
