Janet and Wayne raised three daughters. Her influence and example can be seen in all three. Her greatest joy was in their accomplishments and happiness.
Janet lived a full life, full of laughter and experiences. She loved her family, friends, books, baths, margaritas and talking. Lots of talking. She took after her mother in that respect and is imitated in that by her daughters. The house gets very lively at holidays, vacations and family events with everyone vying for the spotlight and talking and laughing over one another. She could put together, figure out or fix anything. She got that from her father, in fact she was often called Little Rex. She was balanced and complemented by Wayne, who like her took pride in a job well done, creating a comfortable home and enjoying one anothers company after a hard days work. She traveled every year with her girlfriends from childhood, taking a trip and spending time embracing their friendship and lives. She recently found her artistic side, excelling at stained glass creation. She was strong, stubborn, determined, meticulous, brave, giving and kind.
