Janet was a 1953 graduate of Brainerd High School. She loved to travel, having been to many destinations both foreign and domestic – her favorite trip was a land and sea trip to Alaska. A devoted lover of animals, Janet's home was always filled with the companionship of her dogs, who brought her endless joy.
