Janet Margaret Gale was born at Community Hospital in Montclair, New Jersey. She was one of 4 children birthed by John Camillus Gayle and Virginia Alice Tascoe Gayle on December 20, 1937.
Janet went to Montclair High School and went on to work for Bell Telephone Company, which later became Verizon. During that time she married Benjamin Warren Jackson, from whom she had her
only son Warren David. Seeing as how perfection is very difficult to repeat,Warren remained the only child of Janet and Ben. The couple would divorce however, and in later years Janet would meet
John Curtis Jr. whom she married on November 10th, 1983. Janet retired from Bell Telephone in 1992,and afterwhich she and John began to travel often. She visited places within the U. S. like South
Carolina and Florida,as well as places outside of the country like St. Thomas and Aruba. And even after John's unfortunate passing she continued to travel with her friend and sidekick Delores Mumford....
