Before Janet’s illness struck, she had worked 29 ½ years at PCC Airfoils in Crooksville.  Janet was a very loving member of a close-knit family and always loved big family gatherings.  She was a very good cook and prepared delicious food for these events and on a daily basis at her home.  She enjoyed trips to Amish Country and she had a passion for collecting Longaberger baskets, giving them as gifts to family and friends.  Janet was always very aware of the way she looked and even in the past few years, in her illness, she got up every day and fixed her hair and put on her make-up, especially her favorite lipstick.  She was a loving mother, sister and friend to all.
