A name is a small thing to hold a whole life.
Janice Terrell of Wentzville, Missouri, passed away on April 29, 2026, at the age of 78. She was the beloved wife of the Rohnn Kostelecky, of Wentzville, Missouri.

Janice was united in marriage to Rohnn for 25 years, and together they shared many wonderful years prior to her passing.
Janice and Rohnn formed a mortgage company together and later a real estate company helping many St. Carles County families refinance and purchase their dream homes. She loved horses and enjoyed going to the Kentucky State Fair to watch the World Championship Horse Show and The Derby. She also loved her dogs, primarily Yorkies and Pekinese.
Janice will be remembered as a devoted wife, loving partner, and loyal friend. She will be dearly missed.
