One of Janet's greatest joys in life was her family. She epitomized the essence of a family-oriented individual, always putting the needs and happiness of her loved ones above her own. Her nurturing nature and selfless acts of kindness made her the heart and soul of our family gatherings, bringing everyone closer together with her genuine love and affection.

Janet had a deep and abiding love for animals, especially her beloved pets. Her cat, Bella, was more than just a pet; she was a faithful companion and source of comfort. Janet's dogs, AJ and Cami, were her loyal partners and provided her with companionship and joy. Her home was always filled with the sounds of their wagging tails and playful antics, a testament to the love and care she showered upon them.

Another passion that brought Janet immense joy was her collection of angels. Each delicate figurine held a special place in her heart, symbolizing hope, guidance, and protection. Janet's collection showcased her deep spirituality and her unwavering belief in the power of divine intervention. Her angels served as a reminder of the ethereal beauty that exists in the world, and she found solace in their presence.

The visitation will be held Thursday, July 13 from 12PM to 2PM at PREBLE MEMORY GARDENS FUNERAL CENTER, 3377 US Route 35 East, West Alexandria, 45381.  The funeral service will begin at 2PM with Pastor Andrew Stensaas officiating and burial to follow at Preble Memory Gardens Cemetery.
