Janet attended Dayton High School in Dayton.
Janet married her true love, Boyd Elkin, on June 7, 1958, at the Glade Run Church in Dayton. The couple was blessed with over 63 years of marriage built on love and commitment to one another. Boyd preceded her in death in 2021.
Janet was a member of the Porter United Methodist Church in Punxsutawney, and also served as a member of the Ladies Aid. In her spare time, she enjoyed quilting, embroidery and working with ceramics.
As a devoted homemaker, Janet took immense pride in her household, dedicating herself to raising her children and caring for her family. Throughout her life, her greatest joy was spending time with her family. Janet will be dearly missed by those who loved her.

In addition to her parents and husband Boyd, Janet was preceded in death by one daughter-in-law, Danise Elkin; one son-in-law, Chuck Brocious; and two siblings, Eleanor Lockhard and Arlene Neal.
