She married Roy Booth in LaGrande, Ore., in 2013, they enjoyed many fishing and hunting trips, until his passing in 2020. Janice moved to Spirit Lake, Idaho, with the Snyders, prior to Roy's passing, as health complications made caregiving for Roy no longer possible, but they enjoyed daily chats on the phone.
