Janis Hoyez
Janis Marie Hoyez was born October 6th, 1936, in San Francisco, California.
She passed away on October 17th, 2024, in Richland, WA. Jan was a long-time resident of

Jan graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Arts. She managed a data center out at the Hanford
Site and then later in life she followed her passion for agriculture and became a WSU Master
Gardener.
Jan was preceded in death by her parents Clayton and Verna Hoyez, her brother Charles Hoyes
and her two children Lance Chism and Debbie Hoyez.

three great grandchildren Emma Best-Chism, Jensen Chism and Charley Mead.
Jan’s hobbies included gardening, jewelry making, reading, volunteering at The Living Room
Community Church and spending time with family and friends. Anyone who knew Jan knew she
had a huge heart and was a spit fire of a woman. She loved sitting on her porch watching all the
birds and wildlife as the sun set in her sanctuary garden she created.
