Janie was a great woman, devoted wife, mother and grandmother and a great friend to many. She married Marty Wing in 1959 and the teenage couple had three beautiful children together.

Janie then met and married Randy Renz a native of Fort Collins, CO on December 23, 1984. Randy and Janie have enjoyed being married for over 30 years. They enjoyed many dear friends and could often be found enjoying bowling or camping with friends.

Janie was very compassionate to all and deeply committed to her children and family. Everyone knew Janie genuinely cared about you by the way she made all feel welcome and special. She enjoyed playing softball, camping and bowling. Her family and friends will always remember her as a loving person with a quick wit and always ready to have fun.
