In 1977, she graduated from Bradley University in Peoria, IL with a Bachelor Degree in Education. Raising her three children was the most important event in her life, followed by teaching others, and her volunteer work. Janette’s work started as a Lab Assistant for two years in Nebraska hospitals at North Platte and Lincoln, NE. Later she worked as a bank teller for 2 years, due to her ability to speak Spanish. Then she taught at Holy Family Catholic Elementary School for 12 years in Peoria, IL; eventually teaching at Sylvan Learning Center in Peoria where she taught students of all ages.

When she was able to find free time, it was spent hiking, biking, playing tennis, swimming, golfing, playing both bridge and Mah Jong, and playing the piano. She enjoyed Husker football, Enya’s music, grilled salmon, and white wine (just one glass). Her favorite flower is purple iris.

Janette was a loving, caring, strong, quick-witted, and beautiful inside and out. She deeply loved and was dedicated to her family. They were her number 1 priority. Her smile beamed love. She was so proud of her children, grandchildren and great grandchild.
She taught us to be kind, honest and hardworking. Her favorite thing to say was, “Love you, Hon!”
