Janice was born September 23, 1938 to Albert R. and Rosie Berreth, Artas, SD. She grew up on the family farm and helped with milking cows, other farm chores and all the fieldwork. She was a very hard worker. She graduated from Herreid High School in 1956, and then went to summer school at Northern in Aberdeen, SD. She taught school in the fall and took correspondence courses to get more credits towards her teacher's degree. She taught all grades at Bentz, Orth country schools and also at Artas School.
August 23, 1960 she married Stanley Weinzirl at the Evangelical United Brethren Church in Artas, SD. They made their home in Herreid, SD. On November 1968 they moved to Eureka SD where they raised their five children who all graduated from Eureka High School. This marriage ended in divorce in 1994.

She started working full time in 1989 at Day Break, Ultimate Direction and Sheldahls, Eureka Bakery, the Eureka Avera Nursing Home as a Certified Nurses Assistant and then was employed at Eureka Avera Hospital until her illness.
She loved gardening and flowers. She also enjoyed making quilts for all her children, grandchildren and siblings. One of her favorite things to do was dress her outdoor decorative "Ole and Lena" with seasonal outfits. She did volunteer work at the old nursing home and fixed hair for a few of her neighbors.
