Janice was born on May 24, 1939, in Escanaba, the daughter of Harold and Ann (Korenich) Switzer. Janice was raised in Gladstone and graduated from Gladstone High School in 1957. On April 29, 1961 Janice was united in marriage to Newton Johnson and together they shared many wonderful years until his passing in 1991.

Janice enjoyed attending the Christmas specials at the casino, watching the Green Bay Packers, crocheting, watching the birds, and helping make pasties and doing taco prep at the Gladstone American Legion.
