Janet married the love of her life on March 26, 1988 to John W.

Janet was fortunate to be able to use her talents to bring the best out in people, she had the ability to magnify the beauty not only on the outside but the inside as well, she had a way to pick up the pieces of the broken and make them even more beautiful.  Her paintings were one way she expressed her love and compassion to our Lord and Savior. She always had the ear to listen and the shoulder to cry on, you knew she always had you covered by her prayers.  She will truly be missed.
