Janet grew up on a dairy farm south of Butler, helping out with farm operations, including the family's egg route. She was named Miss Milk Maid (Dairy Princess) in approximately 1960.
Janet was a graduate of Penn Township (Knoch) High School. She attended Slippery Rock State College (University) and earned her bachelor's degree in secondary education, specifically health and physical education.
Janet was a health and physical education teacher at East Brady Area High School (EBAHS) from 1962 to 1969, and later was a substitute teacher within the Armstrong School District for many years.

On June 26, 1965, Janet married Fred Karlovich of East Brady, formerly of Commodore, who was also a teacher at EBAHS. Janet and Fred resided in East Brady for over 50 years.
Janet took great pride in being a wife, mom and homemaker. She most enjoyed time spent with family and was also an avid birdwatcher.
