Janice Ryan Thrall

December 4, 1958 – December 23, 2024

Janice Ryan Thrall, 66, of Lewiston, Idaho, passed away on December 23, 2024, at her home in Lewiston.

Janice was born on December 4, 1958, in Bozeman, Montana, to Dr. Clarence A. Ryan and Patricia Louise (Meunier) Ryan. Her childhood was spent in California, Oregon, and Montana before the family settled in Pullman, Washington.

As a child, Janice loved her family deeply and had a special interest in fashion, often expressing herself through her unique sense of style. She attended Pullman schools and graduated from Pullman High School. She later attended community college in Spokane and devoted herself to raising her family.

Richland, Washington, became home for Janice and her daughters, where she worked for Albertsons until her retirement. Janice was highly involved in her daughters' schools and activities, often hosting get-togethers at their home or creating the most fun and thoughtful treat bags for events. She created a warm and welcoming environment where family holidays, especially Christmas and Halloween, became cherished traditions filled with joy, love, and festive decorations that brought everyone together.

Seven years ago, Janice moved to Lewiston to be closer to her mother, Patricia. A passionate football fan, she loved attending Washington State University games with her daughter, Kymberly, and granddaughter, Kamryn. She was a devoted grandmother who cherished time spent with her grandchildren.

Janice was preceded in death by her two beloved brothers, Steve Ryan and Joe Pat Ryan, and her parents, whom she loved dearly. She is survived by her daughters, Kymberly (Kyle) Batey and Haleigh Thrall (Duran Caferro); her cherished grandchildren, Kamryn Batey, Buster, Alina, Karmen, and Kova Caferro; her aunt and uncle, Alfred and Tara Meunier; and numerous cousins.

No public services are planned at this time. Arrangements have been entrusted to Corbeill Funeral Home in Pullman, Washington.
