Along the path of life, Janis met the love of her life Paul Bensch from Jamestown, ND. Janis and Paul blame their introduction on Shawn Moos, who introduced them on a blind date. Once Janis spit chewing gum into Paul\u2019s mouth on March 23rd, 1989 that is when he knew that she was the woman for him. They were married in Eldridge on July 9th, 1995 after Janis\u2019s dad -Vance ran her down the aisle as quickly as possible. Grateful to have been born in Montana and lived in North Dakota, Janis said that \u201cIt was an adventure that will NEVER be replicated!\u201d Janis touched so many lives in a kind, caring and inspirational manner. Just remember the next time you have an ache or pain, think to yourself \u201cWhat would Janis say or do?\u201d<\/p>\n

Janis graduated from Whitefish High School in 1987 and the University of Montana (\u201cGo Griz!\u201d) in 1992 with a degree in Business Administration in Accounting. She worked at the Stutsman County Abstract Company where she was part owner and Vice President, until the family business was sold and became Stutsman Title. She continued to work there until she was forced into medical retirement in February, 2021. Janis proudly served as a member of the International Chapter P.E.O. Sisterhood, Chapter K of Jamestown, North Dakota where she served as State President from 2013 to 2014; was a member of the Whitefish Chapter 597 Women of the Moose; a Life Member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation; and proud lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. Summers were spent going camping with family and friends while enjoying s\u2019mores, adult beverages and countless games of cribbage with anyone willing to lose.<\/p>\n

Janis wished to send special love to her beloved God children: Hannah and Jackson Brugger as well as her non-biological sisters: Rhonda Kelch Ohlin and Connie Jenkins.<\/p>\n

Her life was shared with her loving husband Paul of 26 years (when asked how long they had been married, Janis would exclaim: \u201cSeems just like yesterday.\u201d and would often tell him that she loved him \u201825% less\u2019 based on an old tv commercial) her Dad – W. Vance Conn, brother-in-law Raymond (Michelle) and nephew Walter Pearson, in-laws: Harold and Marie Bensch, Julia (Terry) and nephew Christopher Dunnigan. She was preceded in death by her beloved Mother- Judy and Sister – Katy.<\/p>\n

In Janis\u2019s famous last words: \u201cMy party has ended!\u201d Please laugh and love each other in Janis\u2019s memory with a HUGE smile on your face as you jump in those mud puddles and toss back a handful of popcorn while drinking \u201cUNSWEETENED iced tea \u2013 NO LEMON!\u201d<\/p>\n
