Janice Duben

Janice Louise was born on January 12, 1953, in Maryville, Missouri, the daughter of Earl James and Lillian Florence (Semmons) Linthicum. She grew up in Tarkio, Missouri and lived various places as an adult.

On November 10, 1999, she was united in marriage to Francis “Duby” Duben in Rock Port, Missouri. The couple lived in Oakland for two years until making Atlantic Home in 2001. Janice and Duby enjoyed time together and would frequently watch Western’s. Throughout her life she worked various places as a cashier and in housekeeping and wasn’t ever one to shy away from volunteering. She volunteered at the Francis Women’s Shelter in Omaha and at Atlantic Specialty Care helping with various activities including BINGO. Janice was proud to be a member of the Hospital Auxiliary at the Cass County Health Systems.

Janice attended First Assembly of God in Atlantic and was always willing to help when needed. She stayed busy gardening, doing puzzles, playing cards, Canasta being a favorite, and playing the countless games on her phone. Janice was a loving and caring mother and looked forward to spending time with family and regularly attended the annual Semmons reunion. She will be dearly missed by her beloved dog, Gizzy.
