Janis Loy Davis of Fort Collins "flew" home to be with her Savior Jesus Christ on July 4, 2017.
She was born during the famous heat wave of 1936 on July 9, 1936, in a farmhouse to parents, Marion and Grace Hendrickson. She graduated from Nodaway High School; attended Business College in Omaha, Nebraska; and was employed at Northwestern Bell Telephone Company in Des Moines, Iowa.
She married Lowell R. Davis at the base chapel in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, before his transfer to Germany with the US Army. Following his discharge, they lived in towns in Iowa while he was employed with Northwestern Bell Telephone Company and transferred to Fort Collins in 1964. Janis was a homemaker and volunteered with various organizations. She was employed at the CSU Department of Atmospheric Science for over 20 years and retired in 1995. They purchased land in Glacier View Meadows and built a log home where they lived until 2006. She and her husband attended Morning Star Church in Red Feather and they later attended Fort Collins Bible Church.
They were the parents of 3 children and grandparents of 17 grandchildren. Their children and grandchildren are Michael (Jody) Davis of Thornton and their children Christopher, Charissa, Chandler, and Chase; Julie (Gary) Cramer of Wellington and their children, Courtny, Caleb, Rachel, Rebecca, Joshua, Zachary, Serena, and Levi; and Jill and her children, Jordan, Janell, Jennifer, Jalen, and Jared. She is also survived by her husband, Lowell; a brother-in-law, Ben Dunkin of Fort Collins; and a sister-in-law, Sherene O'Quinn of Fort Collins.
She was preceded in death by her sisters, Mary Ann Dunkin of Fort Collins and Deloris Peterson of Iowa and by an infant grandson, Jacob Daniel Cramer.
The Funeral Service will be held 10:00 a.m. on Monday at Bohlender Funeral Chapel and internment will be in Grandview Cemetery.
