Janice Kay Rogers

Janice Rogers was called home to be with her Lord and Savior on March 5, 2026. She was 73 years old and a longtime resident of Conrad, Montana.

Janice was born to John Rogers and Dorothy (Moore) Rogers in Conrad on June 20, 1952. She grew up on the family farm north of Conrad and later moved into town. She attended school in Conrad and worked for several local businesses over the years, including the Branding Iron, Conrad Bakery, and Conrad Hospital. In April 1980 she welcomed her daughter, Darla, whom she proudly raised on her own with the support of family and friends. In 1989 she briefly relocated to Langdon, North Dakota, to work for friends at a local bakery, then returned to Conrad, where she remained for the rest of her life. Between 1996 and 2007 her family grew with the addition of five grandchildren, and she spent much of her time being the devoted grandmother they remember.

Family was the center of Janice’s world. She loved her grandchildren dearly and cherished the family she helped build. She shared a special bond with her daughter and grandchildren and treasured the time they spent together. Her sister, Sheldon, held a special place in her heart and was a constant companion and caregiver. They enjoyed trips to Great Falls, Choteau, and Shelby, and simple afternoons sitting on the deck in the sunshine, sharing good conversation.

Janice had a gift for connecting with people. Over the past five years she developed several close friendships that were very important to her and brought her great joy. She loved meeting new faces and hearing their stories, believing everyone had something meaningful to share. She will be remembered for her laughter, caring spirit, and generous love. A devoted animal lover, she gave a home to many strays over the years and made sure they were loved.

Janice also loved food — her enjoying a good meal or sharing one with others — and believing meals were best when they brought people together. Her favorite part of the day was calling friends and family to ask what they were having for dinner. Her quick humor and playful jokes meant time with her was rarely quiet and never dull. Though sometimes a bit stubborn, her determination came from deep care and a desire for the health and happiness of those she loved.

She is survived by her daughter; five grandchildren; a great-grandson; four sisters; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, John Rogers and Dorothy (Murrain) Wilson.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Moose Lodge in Conrad, Montana, on April 11th at noon. The family will hold a private ceremony on June 20, 2026, at Lone Pine State Park to celebrate her life and the spreading of her ashes.
