Janet was a devoted wife and loving mother. She was a stay-at-home mom and took great pride in watching her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren grow. She loved going on car rides on backroads, doing word searches, watching Gunsmoke, and listening to music, especially Joey & Rory Feek Gospel. When she couldn’t make it to church, she enjoyed watching Joel Osteen and reading her Bible.
