Janice Barker
1954-2006

Janice Estell Barker returned home to her Heavenly Father on June 1, 2006 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family at the time of her passing.

Janice was born March 12, 1954 in Santa Ana, California, to LaVon M. and June D. Pack. She attended schools in Pleasant Grove, Utah, and Southern California. She graduated from La Serna High School in 1972. Soon after graduation she moved to Utah and began work at the LDS Church office building in Salt Lake City. She was married in 1974 and was blessed with eight children. She was later divorced. She was sealed to her eternal sweetheart Bryson Howard Barker on November 2, 2001 in the Mt. Timpanogos LDS Temple. Together they were blessed with one more daughter, Jessica, to complete their family. Janice was a hard worker throughout all of her life and blessed the lives of all who knew her. Her sweet personality and beautiful smile will sorely be missed. Her most precious asset was her family.

Janice is survived by her loving husband, Bryson, and their children: Preston Neilson, Scott (Camille) Neilson, Alishia (Jake) Barnett, Julie (Jaremy) Flygare, Matthew (Hallie) Barker, Logan (Anna) Neilson, Lacy (Cody) Beardall, Chante Neilson, Katie Neilson, Chance Barker, Cari Neilson, and Jessica Barker; and thirteen grandchildren. She is also survived by her mother, June Pack; siblings, Ronald (Linda) Mackey, Lynn (Janice) Pack, Julie (Randy) Ashton, and Mary K. Pack. She was preceded in death by her daughter Amber, and her father LaVon M. Pack.
