Janice was born on November 21, 1937, in Grant County WI, the daughter of Leo and Jessie (Bell) Klein. She graduated from Platteville High School in 1955. After high school, she was united in marriage to her husband of 66 years, Herbert (Tobe) Hubbard. After getting married on July 26, 1958, they built a life together and had four sons. Janice spent most of her younger years perfecting the best chocolate chip cookie and pancake recipes, dancing in Rockville with Tobe, tending to her flower beds, and trying to keep her boys out of trouble. In her later life, she and Tobe enjoyed many car cruises, antiquing, and playing euchre with the gang.
