Janet was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Oostburg where she served as a Sunday school and Bible school teacher, and was active in women's ministries. Janet was devoted to her church family and to her faith in Jesus. She sent numerous cards to all her relatives, friends, and fellow church members. She loved her family dearly; always trying to attend as many of their sporting, church, and school events as possible. Janet enjoyed traveling, boating, snowmobiling with the "The Gang", and spending time with her children and grandchildren. She was an avid reader and enjoyed going to the library, as well as going out to breakfast and watching movies with her sisters and friends.
