Janie loved the outdoors and spending time at Blue Bluff Campground. She enjoyed watching hunting and cooking shows on television and going out to eat. A true matriarch, she loved to spend time with her family especially visiting with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. With a quick wit and a feisty tongue, she would speak her mind all the while enjoying her time talking with others. Janie was a strong supporter of law enforcement, and she enjoyed listening to the police scanner often having a deep concern for the safety of the officers.
