Jan was born August 2, 1939 at Wellman, Iowa to Irwin and Gladys (Roth) Booth. She was the oldest of 6 children. The family moved to Chappell, Nebraska, where she spent her childhood years and attended school. She married Gilbert Christensen in 1955 and continued to live at Chappell on the family farm where they raised their five children. Janice attended the Assembly of God Church and taught her children at an early age the importance of having Christ in your life. She worked at TRW in Ogallala for several years. The couple divorced, and Janice moved to Lodgepole where she owned and operated a popular local café, The Coffee Cup. She was an excellent cook and shared many recipes still used by family and friends to this day. Jan was a blessing to many people there and created many lifelong friendships that continued until her passing. Janice sold her café and moved to North Platte and worked many years at Roger’s Restaurant and the Super 8 Hotel and again created many lifelong friendships. She was a diligent, hard worker at whatever she did and was greatly appreciated by her fellow workers. On January 11, 1988, she married Gerald McGowan at North Platte. After their retirement, they traveled and attended many antique tractor shows in Nebraska and neighboring states. They especially enjoyed their trips to Branson, Missouri. Jerry and Jan had many happy years together until his passing in 2014. After Jerry’s passing she moved to Sidney to be closer to her family.
