A devout Christian, Janet loved music, animals, photography, sewing, quilting, baking, and cooking. She was also a licensed pilot, breast cancer survivor, and co-owner of Carolina Bakers. Known for her humor and joyful spirit, Janet was also fiercely devoted to those she loved.

No longer here, but never far away.
