Janet was born to J.D. and Marjorie Hendrick on February 28, 1944 in Des Moines, IA. Janet loved being with her family, especially her grandchildren, who she visited every Friday. They will have fond memories of making breakfast, watching cartoons, and playing with her beloved dog, Murphy, together. In addition to her grandchildren, Janet also had a fondness for tea-room hopping, gardening, dancing, and baking during the Christmas season. She loved making sugar cookies and Chex-mix for her family and neighbors. Janet will always be remembered as the kindest and sweetest person, always remaining positive for every situation.

Janet survives by her twin sister, Judy Boatwright; sisters, Mary-Glen Stodgel and Sandra Carr; children, Amie, Kurt (Debra), and Jeff (Gina) Harris; and her beloved grandchildren, Kennedy, Piper, and Hendrick Harris.
