Janice was born on November 16, 1938 in Calvin, VA to Oliver and Goldie Baker. She spent most of her childhood in Big Stone Gap, VA, graduating high school in 1956. She immediately went into the Air Force where she met her future husband, Shannon Dean (Smokey) Wolfe. They were both stationed in Shreveport, LA and were married there on December 3, 1960. Their first daughter, Jaqueline Dawn, was born July 1961 and passed away when she was only 4 months old. A close friend drove them from Louisiana to Big Stone Gap, VA, where she now rests with her maternal grandparents, Oliver Lee and Eva Goldie Baker (Gibson). After becoming pregnant with their second daughter, Smokey resigned from the Air Force and moved them to Colville, WA where his family was from. While living in Colville they had two more daughters, Denise Kimberly and Leslie Danita. The family moved to Yakima, in the early 1970s and resided there until 1987 when they returned to Colville. In 2012 they moved to Clark Fork where they share a home with their oldest daughter and her partner.
In 1980, when the movie “Coal Miner’s Daughter” came out, the running joke around the house was we got the other Coal Miner’s Daughter, the one that couldn’t sing. Janice sang beautifully though and is one of her daughter Kim’s favorite memories of singing hymns in the kitchen with her.
Smokey and Jan were married by the Justice of the Peace in 1960 and when they renewed their wedding vows December 3, 1985 on their 25th wedding anniversary, Janice got the church wedding she always wanted. It would have been their 54th wedding anniversary this year.
She greatly loved her family and she is greatly loved and missed by her family and friends.
