Janne spent her career in the health industry. She received her nursing degree from Mercy Hospital School of Nursing in Buffalo, New York, and began her career as a Registered Nurse in the Labor and Delivery unit. She went on to earn a Bachelor's degree at University of Detroit and a Master's degree from Wayne State University in Health Education. Much of her career was spent at the Macomb County Health Department as the Supervisor of Health Education, where she retired. In retirement, she became an Adjunct Instructor at Wayne State University, teaching health education to undergraduate students. In her spare time, she and Phil embraced their entrepreneurial era and opened their own small business, Action Instaprint.

Janne was very talented and crafty and had many hobbies which included quilting, knitting, scrapbooking, and reading. She also loved to golf and travel. She made many keepsake scrapbooks, quilts, and blankets which will forever be cherished by her family. Her passion for traveling took her family to her hometown of Pittsburgh and to Italy to meet family and learn about her roots. Pittsburgh was near and dear to her heart and the family gained additional Pittsburgh Steelers fans in her children and her grandchildren.
