Janice Sue Page was born on April 14, 1964, in Sacramento, California, and passed away on November 5, 2025. She lived a life defined by service, loyalty, resilience, and a deep, abiding love for both people and animals.
Janice proudly served her country in the United States Army as a military police officer, a role that reflected her natural sense of duty, fairness, and strength. After her service, she spent the majority of her adult life in Ontario, Oregon, where she built a lifelong career with the Malheur County Jail, ultimately serving as a respected jail sergeant. Her work was more than a job — it was a calling, carried out with integrity, grit, and compassion.
A devoted animal lover, Janice found peace and joy in the presence of animals throughout her life. Horses were especially close to her heart, and she spent much of her youth and adulthood riding and caring for them. Her bond with animals was instinctive and profound, offering her solace and companionship in all seasons of life.
In 2014, Janice relocated to Philomath, Oregon, where she continued to build a life grounded in family and quiet connection. Her truest companion in her later years was her beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Ted E. Bear — her constant shadow, comfort, and best friend. Losing Ted in January 2025 at the age of 10 was a heartbreak she felt deeply, a testament to the immense love she carried for him.
Janice was preceded in death by her son, Joshua Brennan, who was killed in combat while serving in Afghanistan. She carried the weight of that loss with quiet strength and profound pride, honoring his service and sacrifice in her own steadfast devotion to others.
She is survived by her children: Jessica Keyes, Robert Keyes, Brooke Harriman, and Courtney Erntson. She was a proud and devoted grandmother to Ryland, Kinsley, Ellie, Landon, Sawyer, Tatum, Wesley, and Phoebe, each of whom brought her immense pride and joy.
She is also survived by her parents, Charles and MaraLee Stoffers, and her sister, Laurie Arbuckle.
Janice will be remembered for her strength, her fierce loyalty, and her unmistakable, loud, and boisterous laugh — an infectious sound that could fill a room, break tension, and draw people closer the moment it rang out. It was a reflection of her spirit: bold, unfiltered, and full of life. She loved deeply, lived authentically, and left an indelible mark on all who knew her.
A celebration of life will be held on April 11, 2026, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Copper Nickel Event Center in Ogden, Utah.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Semper Fi and Americas Fund at thefund.org, in honor of Janice’s lifelong commitment to service and in support of critically wounded, ill, and injured service members.
She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
