JANIE MARIE (BOWEN) FRISBIE

Janie Marie (Bowen) Frisbie passed away peacefully at Mayo Methodist Hospital in Rochester, MN, July 10, 2024. She was born Sept. 19, 1958, in Black River Falls, WI. 

She was a 1976 graduate at Lincoln High in Alma Center. She attended University of Wisconsin-Menominee and started her career in the mental health field. She then moved to Kansas City, MO, where she lived the majority of her adult life. Upon her retirement from the immigration field in 2021, she moved back to Alma Center to care for her mom, Alice. She loved junking, crafting, reading, gardening, cheering for the Chiefs and Packers and spending time with her loved ones. Her family was her life’s greatest joy. In her lifetime, Janie was an amazing mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, coworker and friend to many. Her zest for life was truly remarkable and will be remembered for generations to come. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Janie is survived by her children, Alex (Brianna) Frisbie and Annie (Kevin) Selle; her sister, Julie (Bowen) Swall; her brother, Todd (Tammy) Bowen; and her nieces and nephews, Trevor Anger, Liz (Wendy) Swall, Andrea (Kelly) Swall, Gabe Gronniger, Gracie (Ian) Billings, Mac (Ashley) Bowen and Lexie (Jordan) Truell. She is also survived by her grandson, Beau Selle, and many great-nieces and great-nephews who she loved dearly. 

Janie is preceded in her death by her parents, Alice (Sheffer) Bowen and Vernon (Nick) Bowen.

A Celebration of Life for Janie is scheduled for Sept. 21, 2024, at VFW in Alma Center, WI, at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions to The PBCers Organization would be appreciated. https://pbcers.org/howtohelp/.
