Janice Marie Donohoe was born on February 10, 1952 and was beloved by her parents Edward James and Dorothy Leona (Clark) Donohoe. She attended St. Mary's Academy and graduated in 1970.

After graduation, Janie married her high school sweetheart and love of her life, Pat Robertson. To this union were born three children: Rochelle Marie, Keith Patrick, and Jerri Jo. The family made their home in O'Neill. While raising her children, Janie took many roles that benefited the community including running a preschool, working at the hospital and for numerous years, managing the O'Neill swimming pool during the summertime. Later in life, Janie returned to school, receiving both bachelor and master's degrees in education. She then joined the faculty at O'Neill Public Schools as an elementary teacher, enjoying many fulfilling years enriching the minds of young first graders, until her retirement in 2017.

Janie was a devoted wife, mother, sister, and friend, prioritizing the people she cared about first in her life. She relished coffee, long coffee chats, and mostly sharing stories and laughs with the people she loved. She enjoyed participating in her bible study groups, grabbing a drink with friends at the Handlebend, and keeping up with her siblings, nieces and nephews over lengthy phone calls. Janie was an avid reader and movie watcher. She also treasured her quiet, early morning devotions and reflection time to herself. She adored her three children, and her seven grandchildren, and travelled often to be with them. Janie's grandchildren will remember the countless games of cards and board games they played with her, especially Candy Land. She will be remembered by her family and friends as a beloved, cherished confidant, a sincere caring person who was readily available to listen or support or help in any way she could. Janie will be dearly missed.
