Known to be direct and straight to the point, Janette was a very dedicated wife and mother of five children and took great pride in being the best homemaker she could be.

Janette and Charles enjoyed traveling with their camper, even taking a month-long trip out west; they also enjoyed spending several winters in Florida and a couple of cruises. Janette loved to quilt, camp, trips to the casino with sister, Carol and especially taking family girls trips to places such as Shipshewana, The Ark, and wineries, just to name a few. Janette was a long-time devout member of St. Rose and St. Anne Catholic Church; she served as leader of the St. Rose Society for many years.
