Janet found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She spent countless hours solving crossword puzzles and playing Scrabble over the years with her family. As an avid card player, Janet particularly enjoyed games of pinochle and canasta, which brought many smiles and laughter to those who played with her. In her quieter moments, Janet loved watching the drama of her favorite soap operas, and always cherished the comforting presence of her beloved cats. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
