They were high school sweethearts and married after graduating from Pine Plains Central School at the United Church of Christ on July 20, 1952.

Janet was a “farmer’s wife”, domestic engineer and a jack of all trades. She was a great mother to her four children, a skilled seamstress, an exceptional cook, an immaculate housekeeper and a good friend. She was an active member and president of the Stanford Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary.

She was predeceased by her brother Roscoe Krom and sisters Florence Duncan and Betty Schultz.
