Janet was very proud of her British heritage, and most of all, her family. To GiGi, as she was commonly called by her great-grandchildren, family was the light of her life, and she loved each one very much. Janet had a great love of music and a strong faith in her Lord. Learning new things was always at the top of her list and she stressed that, "You will never be too old to learn new things." For fun, Janet loved to float the Buffalo River with her family and to work in her garden growing flowers and vegetables.
