She married James D. Rabon in 1967 and they made their home in southwest Georgia. Janice served her patients through Archbold Memorial Hospital until her retirement. She was a member of Cairo Church of Christ.

Janice enjoyed cooking for others, traveling, and a good fish fry. She loved to sing and was partial to country and southern gospel. Janice was impatient and very punctual. She believed if you were 10 minutes early that was the equivalent to being 5 minutes late. Family was important to Janice as evidenced by her love for her children, grandchildren, and church family.
