Janet’s siblings remember moving a lot as a family and taking many fun vacations together. They all seemed to love the mountains.
Janet graduated from college with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education, and worked as a teacher, also in the Sears Automotive Department as well as a Human Resources position. Janet married Craig Mandeville in Estes Park, CO on Sept. 28, 2002.
She was a very kind, generous, supportive, inspirational and loving soul. She was very helpful in raising a step-daughter, Kayla Mandeville. Janet was very supportive of and counseled many other women who were diagnosed with breast cancer. She loved her Broncos, collected koala bears, loved to hike and travel and travel…and always loved the mountains and her dogs.
Janet is predeceased by her parents, Fred and Eleanor, and a sister, Karen Haas Smith. She is survived by spouse Craig, and a step-daughter Kayla Werner. She leaves behind a sister Linnea (Linny), and a brother Robert Haas. Janet has a step grand-daughter Nevaeh, many nieces and nephews: Dawn, Gia, Landon, Preston, Kinley, Ron and Chloe who will miss her dearly.
The family asks that you consider donations to the Breast Cancer Foundation , The Foothills Animal Shelter and the Pet Food Bank of Arvada in lieu of flowers. Please visit AllnuttEstesPark.com for donation links and to leave words of condolences to the family.
