Janice was born on August 30 ^th 1934 to John and Sara Ann (Halverson) Rousar in De Smet, SD.  She graduated from De Smet High School in 1952.  Shortly after she married Donald McCaskell on September 4 ^th , 1954 and to this union two children were born, Scott Alan McCaskell and Julie Ann Zell.  The family then moved to Huron, SD on January 16 ^th , 1969.  While living in Huron Janice held various secretarial positions before becoming a stay at home mother which she loved.  When she became a grandmother, it was her greatest role of all.  She loved to support her children and grandchildren in anything and everything that they did.

Janice was an avid reader with a great collection of books which she cherished and loved to share them with anyone who was interested.  She loved to watch birds, especially cardinals, and loved George Strait and Chevy Chase.  Janice had a great sense of humor and loved to hear the newest joke.  Giggling and laughter were very important to her which she did so often.

Grateful for having had Janice in their lives are her husband Don, her children Scott (Jacque) McCaskell, Julie (Gary) Zell, her grandchildren Michael (Charlotte) Zell, Lindsey (Alex Styer) McCaskell, Trevor (Becca) McCaskell, and step-granddaughter Stephanie North, and her children Samantha Zell, Kaleb Sypniewski, and Bryson North.

Janice was preceded in death by her parents John and Sara Ann Rousar, her brother Darrell Rousar, numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

In lieu of gifts or memorials, the family would appreciate donations to the Alzheimer's Foundation of America.
