Corinne Rencher Janstrom
Corinne Rencher Janstrom born September 20 1952, beloved wife of Tom Janstrom, passed away Thursday, March 15, 2018 at St Alphonsus hospital. She was stricken by complete hematologic and organ failure, caused by complications of multiple myeloma. Corinne did not suffer and was surrounded by her husband and children during her passing. She is survived by her mother Audrey Martin; brothers Jim Cutler and Art Hale; daughter Leah Thayer and husband Matt; son David Rencher; granddaughters Chloe and Ella Thayer; and husband Tom Janstrom.
Corinne was born at Whidbey Island Naval Hospital, Oak Harbor WA, to Duane and Audrey Cutler. She and her brothers Art, Jim, and David grew up in San Diego. After high school graduation she worked two summers at Yellowstone National Park, expanding the independent spirit she built as a free-range kid on the beaches of Mission Bay. She began her college studies with two years at Idaho State in Pocatello with the intent of going into law. A break of two years found Corinne in Boise, working as a bank teller. A local businessman came into the bank regularly and took notice of her. He said he "knew a good guy" to date, if she were interested. The good guy was Jack Quentin Rencher, his son.
Corinne and Jack were married in 1977 and had two children; son David and daughter Leah. Corinne returned to her studies at BSU and graduated with a BS in Sociology. She moved on from the bank to become a construction project manager with General Electric's supplies division, and she maintained - as the only woman on the staff - that her degree was most useful in helping understand the dynamics of men working together. Corinne "got" men. During her time as a young, married, working woman she expanded her lifelong passion for working in the fiber arts to help found a group of quilting sisters, the better to expand her knowledge of that branch of artisanship. To this day, her homes were decorated with quilts, both artistic and useable, all made with the finest 200 year old handcrafting techniques. Corinne was also an ordained deacon in her legacy Presbyterian Church.
While Leah and David were in college, this age of Corinne's life came to a devastating end with the death from cancer of her husband Jack in 1999. They had been married 23 years. It was a period of resilience and reconstruction for Corinne and she took an early retirement from GE and studied for a real estate license. She opened her own brokerage, Corinne Rencher Real Estate, operating out of the Homeland office. Seeking more regular hours in the field, she later joined Pioneer Title as the director of their real estate school; finding a new joy in teaching.
When her grief over Jack's passing had become manageable, Corinne joined EHarmony. "Just looking for a good movie date" became much more than that when she was introduced to Tom Janstrom, a divorced man and fellow EHarmony client. Yes, they were right for each other and married in April of 2007. Corinne's renewed life brought different joys - motorcycle touring, international travel, home remodeling, and in retirement, motorhome life. Leah and David were mature, established in their respective careers and happy as family members. In Corinne's third age she also discovered her brightest lights, Leah and husband Matt's daughters Chloe and Ella. Being a grandmother fulfilled her.
Friends, neighbors, and family described Corinne's vibrant and confident persona with terms like "force of nature" and "force to be reckoned with." While both were definitely true - and she was proud of it - they were overshadowed by her loving aspects as wife, mother, teacher, and friend. In her passing, Corinne would remind each of us to treasure each day, fulfilling the thought posted in her and Tom's home, "It's never too late to live happily ever after."
Tom and Corinne's family extend their thanks and respect to the staff of St. Alphonsus' ER, ICU and Oncology departments. They worked with consummate professionalism, commitment, and personal warmth during Corinne's time of trial. The family requests that charitable contributions in Corinne's memory be directed to St. Alphonsus Boise Foundation - Cancer Care Center. Information may be found online.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 pm on Wednesday, March 21 at Cathedral of the Rockies, 717 N 11th St., Boise. Internment follows at Dry Creek cemetery.
