Janet worked tirelessly for the SA, volunteering for community projects and mentoring young people. Janet was a gifted organizer, crafter and even linguist, contributing many "Janetisms" to the language. One of her greatest gifts was her ability to forgive. Janet loved all things Christmas, craft shows, daisies, ballet, singing, dancing, Bon Jovi, the Dollar Store; tea parties, board games; costume parties and kids. What she loved best was family. She loved Garfield, her soulmate and best friend, and all the Little Things' that only they shared. She loved her sons and stepchildren. She loved her grandchildren and special nephews Braden and Ethan. She already loved her newest grandchild expected in March. Janet, that unforgettable smile, and her laughter will always be remembered and missed by all who knew and loved her.
