Janelle was born on July 6, 1944 to Richard Schull and Edna Fesseldt Schull in Mankato, MN. She graduated from Mapleton High School in 1961. In 1964, Janelle married John David Imm in St. Clair, MN.

In 1977, they moved back to north Texas, settling in The Colony and Little Elm. During her time in north Texas, Janelle worked with her family at All Weather Products for many years, finishing her career at Wilsonart International.
