Known for her spunkiness and great faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Janie will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Known affectionately as “Grans,” her family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life not the sadness of her passing. She is survived by her children and her two sons-in-law: Luke Laborde and Lloyd Phillips, her grandchildren: David McKowen, Andrew McKowen, Walter McKowen, Andrea Laborde Barbier, James Alden Laborde, Casey Edward Laborde, and Victoria Laborde Wells; and her beloved great- grandchildren: David McKowen IV, James Louis McKowen, Rebckah Jane Harrison McKowen, Adele Colette Laborde, Indie James Barbier, Jordan Rhodes Barbier, and Remy Chase Laborde.
A visitation will be held at Rabenhorst Funeral Home 825 Government Street, on Monday, October 6th at 10:00 AM, followed by a memorial service there at 11:00 AM, and conclude with a reception at 313 East Woodstone Court in Baton Rouge. She will be interred next to her dear husband, Walter Riner, in Leighton, Alabama.
