Janet had many passions in life. She was well known for her baking, especially her famous chocolate chip cookies that family and friends always looked forward to. She was an avid seamstress for many years, lovingly sewing clothes and costumes for her children and grandchildren and loved working in her yard. Over the years, she generously supported charities including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Shriners, the VA, and the Humane Society.

A lifelong animal lover, Janet had a special place in her heart for all animals — from her horse Buck, to many beloved dogs, cats, birds, and especially her cherished companion Milo.

Janet will be remembered for her warm heart, gentle spirit, unwavering love for her family, and the comfort she brought to everyone around her. Her legacy of love, generosity, and devotion will live on through all who knew and loved her.
