She was the second child of Joney Earl Taylor and Lorraine James Taylor and was born on June 1, 1954. She grew up in Farmville. There she graduated in the first graduating class of Farmville Central High School. From there she graduated from Hardbarger Business College in Raleigh. She was employed at Burroughs Wellcome in Greenville for several years before joining Farm Bureau Insurance Agency as an insurance agent for a few years.

Janet was a loving wife and mother who blessed us with her kind heart, sense of humor and sharp wit. Janet devotedly cared for her mother during her final years of life and more recently cared for her husband Johnny during his battle with cancer. During the last couple of days of her life she was blessed with the news of him being in remission.
She was preceded in death by her mother and father. She is survived by her husband, Johnny and beloved Boston Terrier Boomer of the home. She is survived by her son, Matt, and his wife, Jessica, along with her grandchildren, Avery, Carter and Bennett.

I am so sorry for the entire family. Janet and Johnny have been great friends for over 30 years. Like many, I am stunned. My thoughts have constantly been with Johnny since I found out. Wishing all the best for the Starling and Taylor families.
