Janet will be remembered as an amazing mother, grandmother & great-grandmother whose love & devotion shaped the lives of those dearest to her. She was a true warrior— resilient, determined, and hardworking. Later in life, she proudly earned her nursing degree, fulfilling a dream that reflected her perseverance & compassion for others.

At the heart of her life was her beloved husband, Richard, her one true love, with whom she shared a bond built on laughter, loyalty, & deep affection. To her family, Janet was like a marshmallow—tough when she needed to be, yet soft & warm at her core, always melting with love for those around her.

Children gravitated to her, drawn by her playful spirit & gentle presence. She found joy in the simple things, especially gathering with loved ones, sharing laughter, and watching her favorite game shows—most especially Wheel of Fortune, which never failed to bring her happiness!

Her strength, her warmth, & the way she cared so fully for others will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
