Janet’s greatest joy was spending time with her family and friends, but she also loved going to auctions and finding treasures of all kinds. Janet was proud of her work in pastoral care as a Certified Lay Minister for the United Methodist Church. She loved planting flowers and making her yard look beautiful, often decorating with the Kansas sunflower and her favorite bird, the cardinal. She also spent a great deal of time canning her famous sand plum jelly and sharing it those she loved.
