Janet cared deeply about the people around her, loved to travel with Joe, family, and friends.  Las Vegas and Florida were her particular favorite destinations. She loved to host card club parties, go dancing, and picnic at the lake, as well as attend every family sporting event possible; she was a constant and loyal fan. As founding members of Holy Family Parish, Janet and Joe were active volunteers for many years. She was immensely proud of her family and focused her love, time, and energy making sure they knew they were important to her.  She leaves behind beautiful memories and will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.
