Janice Anselment, 82
Janice Elizabeth Anselment passed away on December 3, 2020, after a long, courageous battle with cancer. Never one to back down from a fight, she gave this one her all; sadly, it got the best of her.
Janice was born on January 12, 1938 in Hanover, Minnesota to Robert E. Dixon and Alma E Dixon. Raised on a dairy farm, Janice learned early how to be a strong, thrifty, think-outside-of-the-box-to-make-things-work independent woman.
Janice married Lowell Anselment in 1956 and was soon traveling to the many bases that the Air Force assigned her husband. After a second assignment in Germany, her husband chose to retire from the Air Force and picked Mountain Home, Idaho as their final destination.
Janice had been a professional seamstress several times over the years, including factory work sewing purses and uniforms. In Mountain Home, she learned how to take those skills up a notch, by getting a job upholstering furniture. Her final job, as a lead cabinet builder, started at Conchemco in Mountain Home, but ended up in Boise when the company she worked for was bought out by Nashua Homes; she retired after 22 years.
Janice was a very artistic person; anything she put her hands on, she would figure out some kind of project to do with it. This included woodworking, painting, origami, and sewing. She loved to quilt; she made over 60 quilts in her life, donating numerous for charity raffles and to hospital patients, as well as to her own family.
Janice was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Alma Dixon; her brother, Robert “Buddy” Dixon; and her sister Darlene Dehmer.
She is survived by siblings, Maxine Ladda, Gloria (Weldon) Ebert, Walter “Butch” (Nealie) Dixon; her children, James Anselment, Carol Anselment and Brenda (Mark) Drewery; her grandchildren, Elizabeth Anselment, Stacia Maughan, Tabatha Strickland and Natasha Anselment; her great-grandchildren, Nicolas Chapa, Ethan Strickland, Elissa Strickland, Mason Carney, Tristan Maughan, Thomas Carney; and numerous nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her lapdog, Wendell; he wouldn’t leave her side, and was very protective of her.
She will be remembered by family and friends for the determined woman she was. Her family will miss her terribly as she was always there for them, no matter what.
Janice asked that no funeral or memorial services take place, but wanted to thank Horizon Home Health and Hospice, Pro Care & Lincare for allowing her to remain home with her loving family while she fought to the bitter end.
