Janet was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and some much more to those who knew her.  She loved her family beyond measure and found true enjoyment while spending time with her husband, grandchildren, her kids, and her family and friends. She relished the peaceful moments early in the morning with a cup coffee outside enjoying the fragrance of her roses and other flowers. She contently watched the deer and other wildlife roaming freely. She had a love for cats and enjoyed watching the "Hallmark Channel", especially during the holidays. She was very social and enjoyed good conversations doting over her grandchildren and never met a stranger. Her passion for writing gospel music, playing the piano, and praising God was something she always enjoyed doing. Even though she couldn't play or write in the last few years she never stopped praising God.

Mother n law Sara Lewis. And many other family members and friends.
