Janise Langston

Janise Ranae Ashbrook-Langston passed away on December 27, 2015 in Clovis New Mexico.
She was born June 28, 1953 to Barbara and Ray Ashbrook. Janise enjoyed reading, doing crossword puzzles, spending time with family and telling the funniest jokes. Strong words that describe Janise well are kind, understanding, patient, loyal, funny and generous.
Janise attended schools in Causey and Roswell, and graduated from Roswell High School in 1971. She then moved to Albuquerque for a short time, and later moved to Long Beach, CA where she had her son Zachary Pittman. In 2003, her sister Robbie, brother Neal, and Janise moved back to the Portales area. Janise's main career in California was being a jeweler, and she ironically collected inexpensive watches. Janise always loved irony, coincidence and believed in signs. Although she wasn't very religious, she believed the world was bigger than just us. Janise's strong spirit will always be remembered.
Janise was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Neal Ashbrook and her sister Robbie Ashbrook-Benzinger.
Janise is survived by her son Zachary Pittman, her niece Kylie Katalinich, grandchildren, other nieces and nephews, cousins and many friends.
A private family memorial will be held in the pending future.
