She was born to the late Dewey Hellum and Ruby Lucille Driver on June 9, 1940, in Nocona, TX. Three of her four sisters preceded her in death: Dorothy Wisnieski, Maurine Dixon & Patricia Bailey. She is survived by her sister, Ann Kersh.
She married Roger Simpson on May 30, 1992. They lived together in Lubbock for more than nineteen years before relocating to Leander. Janet is survived by her children, Randy & Teresa Mills, Misty & Gary Replogle & stepdaughter, Tracy Monroe; three granddaughters, Danielle Mills, Presley Mills & Catlyn Roberts; four grandsons, Tayson Replogle, Christopher Replogle, Christofer Monroe & Damien Mckenna and great grandson, Brayden Mills. She is survived by several other great grandchildren, nieces & nephews. Janet was also preceded in death by her first husband, Glen Mills, & grandson, Stefen Scroggins.
Janet was loved more than any wife, mother, sister, grandma, or aunt could ever be loved. She was known as Granny, Noni & Nawnaw to her beloved grandchildren. She loved her family fiercely and loved her friends as if they were family. She had an amazing sense for decorating and her home was the place she loved to decorate the most. She brightened any room she walked into and made everyone feel at home. She will be missed more than words can express.
