February 1st, 1930 - October 29th, 2026
Janice Bean Wilding, 96, of Teton City, Idaho, went to her heavenly home October 29, 2026 of causes incident to age. Janice was born February 1, 1930 in Teton City, Fremont county, Idaho to John Alden Bean and Ione Wellard. She married Hyrum Barch Wilding (1925-2000) on February 1, 1948 in Teton. They were later sealed in the Idaho Falls LDS temple.
They were blessed with two sons and two daughters: Diane (Larry) Ryner of Blackfoot, Idaho, Linda (Dell) Palmer of Moses Lake, Washington, Ken (Beverly) Wilding of West Valley City, Utah and Terry (Pam) Wilding of Bountiful, Utah. They had 18 grandchildren, 53 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren.
Janice lived most of her life in Teton. Due to her husband’s health challenges it became necessary for her to work to help support the family and farm. Barch and Janice contracted a rural mail route for many years and later she became the Postmaster in Teton and worked in that capacity for a number of years. She got to know almost everyone in town and made lifelong friends.
Janice loved to read and gained a storehouse of knowledge from her considerable library. She was able to carry on a conversation on a wide variety of subjects. She read many church books and other publications as well and had a great understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Music was a huge part of her life. She was an accomplished pianist and played for her own enjoyment and the enjoyment of others in her home and at church.
Janice was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Throughout her life she served faithfully in many callings and had a strong testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ and of our Heavenly Father’s eternal plan for His children.
Janice was predeceased by her parents, John and Ione Bean, a brother, Gary, her husband, Barch, a grandson, Jason Wilding and a great grandson, Noah Loera. She is survived by one brother, Brent Bean, of Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother and will be greatly missed.
