Janet "Quigs" as many of us called her at work at the Capital Group. Such a bright and always witty person! I always appreciated her kindness and support especially in my early years at CG. Thank you Janet for making the world a brighter place.
Love, Lynne Thomas

My most precious memory was taking Sister Gail with Janet & my best friend, Jeanne to Tahoe. Janet brought a book - A Woman in the Woods. She quoted from that book & had us all in stitches with laughter. Janet was so special & one of a kind. I know she & Gail are in a good place, together.

I have so many wonderful memories of Janet, and her kindness to all. After sharing my new interest in gardening, one day I arrived home to several bags of gardening dirt and seeds to get me started. A really kind act of friendship.

Ahhh Janet - loved you from the moment you corrected me in April 1977 for calling your boss "Mr. BaGnard"! You corrected me with "It's pronounced "Banyard!" I don't think I ever thanked you for that in the 46 years I knew you!
Rest in peace Dear Janet!

I will never see a beautiful flower, or an amazing sunset, or hear biting wit and not think of Janet. The impact she had on my life as a sister in law, and more importantly, a true friend, will stay with me forever. I will really miss her manic, drive by visits on her way to rescue some animal the most...she was one of a kind. I´m blessed to have had her in such an important place in my life. My daughters had the best aunt ever...and they knew it.

I'm Janet's Aunt Bonnie
While I was visiting my sister, Janet's mom Maxine we were talking about in Idaho you can't grow Bird of Paridise an I wished I could take a plant home
I was leaving the next morning so we said our goodbye. An hour or so Janet returned with a bouquet of Birds which she had cut from neighbors yard across the street which I must say without their permission. After that with much affection I called her my Little Thief
She and her sister Sandy were my husband's favorite nieces.
She will be missed by the many who loved her.
She is now resting in God's memory.
