Janice, my beloved wife, passed away quietly in her sleep, early morning, March 1sr, due to stroke related complications after a long illness.

Janice was born at Kadlec Medical Center, November 29th, 1953 to Roland A. Harvey and Aune S. Marttila Harvey. Janice was the third of four children, two older brothers and a younger sister. She spent her early years attending Richland schools until she met and married her first husband Robert Dunlap, at age 20.

They left the Tri-Cities area and traveled widely throughout the Southwest including periods living in Texas, Colorado, Arizona, and visits to nearby states. On September 10th, 1977, She gave birth to her only daughter, Shaune Dunlap, in Denver, Colorado. She and her daughter returned to the Tri-Cities area in late 1977 and Janice began working at various jobs locally, including several years managing the local shelter for abused and battered women. In the mid-1990s she went back to college and graduated from CBC in June 1999, with an A.A. Degree in Human Services, so that she could begin counseling people with drug and alcohol dependencies. I met and fell in love with Janice in late 1993 and also returned to school with her.

We were married on July 25th, 1998. We were blessed with the birth of Janice's granddaughter, Niisa Dunlap on May 12th, 1994 and twin grand¬sons to Shaune, June 24th, 2008. Shaune, Niisa and the twins were always the light of Janice's life.

On October 3rd, 1999, Janice suffered a major stroke, which left her paralyzed on the left side of her body. She attacked her disability with the same determination she showed throughout her life. Janice crowded a lifetime of experiences into her 56 years and now she is at peace with her oldest brother, Roland A. Harvey III and her mother, Aune Harvey. Janice is survived by her father, Roland A. Harvey II, her uncle and aunt Richard and Kelly Harvey, her aunt Dot and uncle Jack Yapp, her brother Eric Harvey, sister Carol Yearout, daughter Shaune and son-in-law Charles Salter, granddaughter Niisa Dunlap, grandsons Jaydin and Jaycob Salter, two nephews, Jonathan Yearout and Elijah Harvey.
