  Janey was a beautiful soul, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and a wonderful example of how to love and support family. She had a generous heart and a way of making those around her feel encouraged and cared for. She treasured time with her family and enjoyed quilting and other crafts. She also loved putting puzzles together and playing games with her family, especially dominoes. She also made the best rolls and cinnamon rolls! The love and warmth she shared will be carried on by all who knew her.
