Janet was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend who loved her family and took great pride in all of the accomplishments of her children and grandchildren. She was everyone's number 1 fan and was always available for helpful advice and encouragement. Janet was also a diehard softball player and coach, and her family has many fond memories of her escapades at the park - not to mention her favorite softball team "The Harvey Wall Bangers.
