Janet was a dedicated Navy Wife who acted as a Command Ombudsman for many years. She was always active within her children’s schools and could often be found volunteering with the PTA.

Janet never met a stranger and enjoyed hosting and cooking for friends and family. She was known for her quick wit, spunky personality, infectious laugh, and her always freshly manicured nails.

She is survived by her husband, Michael Stanick Sr, daughter Kayla (Christian) Grant, daughter Tiffany (Walker) Sims, son Michael Stanick Jr, step-daughter Samantha Smith, three grandsons; Christian Jr, Talon, and Luka Grant, three brothers, Edward, Randy, and Glen, and several nieces and nephews.
