Janet Marie Rohrbaugh, 49, of Tualatin, Oregon, passed away on January 15, 2013. Janet was born to Richard and Miriam Rohrbaugh on December 25, 1963 in Roseburg, OR, but lived most of her life in the Portland area. She graduated from Wilson High School (1982), Lewis & Clark College (B.A. 1986) and the University of Washington (M.L.S, 1989).
