Janet also was perhaps the longest serving member and past president several times of the Ceramic League of Greater Miami where she spent a great deal of time sculpting, teaching and helping with sales. For many years, Janet was an active member of Coral Reef Yacht Club where she wrote for the monthly newsletter and where she met Art Kadey, with whom she spent some of her happiest years helping run the office of his yacht business and living a joyful life together.
