Janis Leonhardt Baird Obituary
Janis spent her years as a loving mother to Bart, grandmother to her 5 grandchildren, and great-grandmother to 4 beautiful great-grandchildren.
She worked at the 4-H, Soil Conservation Service, Everton Publishers, and the US Forest Service.
Janis was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and had a great testimony of her Savior and of forever families.
Janis is survived by her son Bart Elwood Baird (Heidi), Hyrum, Utah, 5 Grandchildren, 4 Great Grandchildren, brother LaVar Leonhart (Fran), Hyrum, Utah, sister Betty Slack, Ogden, Utah, sister Jane Peterson (Sherid), Providence, Utah. She was preceded in death by her parents Elwood and Fern Leonhardt and brother-in-law, Jerry Slack.
The family would like to express thanks to the staff at Rocky Mountain Care Center for years of tender care and to Dr. R. Mark Firth for being more than a physician, but a loving friend.

I first met Janis in the Western Airlines Dispatch Office. We were both looking for an apartment close and reasonable in cost. We found a couple of gals to go with us and found a nice apartment on Columbus Street with a great view of the airport. We hit it off and became good friends

Janis was my first and longest Utah friend. We met as young women both working for Western Airlines in 1959. We became friends and roommates in Salt Lake City and later neighbors in Inglewood CA. Our sons were first friends and while our paths took us in different directions our friendship endured. Janis was warm, kind and caring - a true friend. Over the years our contact was intermittent but we always felt close to each other whenever we spoke. I will miss her.God Bless. Marilyn Oberg
