A lifelong member of Fountain Park United Methodist Church, Janet served on many committees, taught Sunday school with her mother Ella, and enjoyed participating in many events with the ‘Sunshine Girls’.

She adventured on many trips, traveling throughout the United States, including Mexico or anywhere warm.

Janet was always the life of the party. She hooted and hollered when watching Wisconsin sports teams, especially the Packers. She attended and hosted many Packer parties.
