Obituary

Janice Dean Brobst, 86, longtime Pullman resident passed away September 9, 2022 at Pullman Regional Hospital.  Janice was born 14 October 1935 in San Diego, California to Carl Scmitt and Maurine (Brill) Schmitt.  She grew up in Carlsbad, California, graduating from Oceanside High School in 1952.  Janice married Richard Wasson in 1958.  The couple soon settled in Hawaii.  She loved Hawaii and enjoyed everything it offered.  After her divorce from Wasson, she moved to Lafayette, Indiana where she met Dr. Duane Brobst while studying for her bachelor degree.  They were married on 27 November 1970 at Simpson United Methodist Church in Pullman.  Janice worked as the office manager for Dr. Leo Bustad, dean of WSU College of Veterinary Medicine and later following her love for horses she became the registrar at the Appaloosa Horse Club in Moscow.  She was all things horses and taught her daughter Amy to ride.  Her family meant the world to her and Janice always had dinner on the table, even while working full time.  Janice and Duane shared many common interests.  Both were WSU alumni, gardened together, helped with Meals on Wheels, and were longtime active members of the Simpson United Methodist Church.  Janice loved to travel and was adventurous throughout her life.  Together Janice and Duane went on three sabbaticals, twice living in Melbourne, Australia and once in New Market, England.  She was both organized and spontaneous so as not to miss out on anything fun.  Janice is survived by her children William Wasson, Todd Brobst (Robyn), and Amy Mullins; her sister Lynne Rankin; five grandchildren and one great grandchild.  She was preceded in death by her husband Duane and son Clay.  The memorial service is planned for Saturday, 8 October 2022 at 10:30 AM at Simpson United Methodist Church in Pullman.  Janice will be laid to rest at the Pullman Cemetery.  Corbeill Funeral Home of Pullman, WA has been entrusted with arrangements.  Memorial donations are suggested to Meals on Wheels, PO Box 107, 210 S. Main St., Colfax, WA 99111 or to the Alzheimer's Association.
