Janet was diagnosed with Lung and Brain Cancer on August 29, 2012. Janet & Glenn moved in with their youngest son, Rick, who stepped up to help care for them as they got older. She was so courageous and strong throughout her battle and never complained about her pain.
She loved her family more than anything in this world and her dog, Buffy, who didn't leave her side. She loved to watch the Broncos and go to Cripple Creek whenever she could. She always stole the turkey as it was being carved for the holidays. She loved Peanut Buster Parfaits and had an appetite like nobody's business.
She is known for her amazing laugh and smile, that brightened the room.
