She had a remarkable sense of direction, often taking time to drive along the back roads to discover where they might lead. She loved going to new places, prospecting, gardening, and had an uncanny gift for finding four-leaf clovers.
Janie was a shining light to all who knew her, and her memory will be cherished forever.
