Janice Evelyn (Tudor) Freeman was born September 19, 1941 in Rock Port, Missouri. She was one of three children of Ira and Beulah (Henderson) Tudor, and stepfather, James Smith. Janice passed peacefully from this life on April 30, 2017 at her home. She has been a lifelong member of the Rock Port community. She attended Rock Port schools and graduated in May of 1959.

 

On December 10, 1960, Janice was united in marriage to Marvin Earle Freeman at the United Methodist Church in Rock Port.

Family was the center of Janice’s life. She and Marvin were giant supporters of their children. They attended all school and sporting events of all three girls. This kept both of them busy while the girls were growing up. Janice was an avid golfer and a member of the Rock Port Golf and Country Club and Tarkio Country Club. She enjoyed playing ladies league golf. She participated in many golf tournaments throughout her life with her husband, her girls, and friends. She took pleasure in bowling, and played with the Rock Port league.
