Janice Lee (Robinson) Legere was born April 4, 1935, in Hill City,
Kansas to H. Leo and Mildred E. (Allen) Robinson. She passed away
peacefully on April 21, 2022, in Hill City at the age of 87. She was a
1953 graduate of Hill City High School. She then studied nursing at
Fort Hays Kansas State College, becoming a Registered Nurse in 1957.
Janice began her nursing career in obstetrics ~ she loved helping to
bring babies into the world! She finished her nursing career working in
geriatrics with a passion for providing elder care.
However, nothing was more important to Janice than her family! She
met the love of her life at a Hill City high School basketball game.
February 10, 1957, Janice and Bob R. Legere were married at the Hill
City Methodist Church. To that union three daughters were born: Beth,
Lora, and Kelly. Janice and her family resided in Kansas, Illinois,
and Colorado. Later in her life, Janice and Bob returned home once
again to Hill City.
A highlight for Janice was when she and Bob took their grandchildren
on a special trip when they turned 12 years old. She treasured that
they were able to experience this adventure with each grandchild!
