Janet dedicated her career to the insurance industry, where she worked in clerical roles, demonstrating diligence and professionalism. She enjoyed water aerobics at the YMCA, snorkeling in tranquil waters, and marveling at the vibrant life beneath the waves. Her love of marine life extended to her home, where she cared for a diverse collection of fish in her aquarium.

Janet delighted in life’s simple pleasures, such as attending car shows, savoring meals at seafood restaurants, and cruising around town with the car top down or exploring waters by boat. She was also an avid reader, finding joy and comfort in books.

Her legacy is one of joy and resilience. Janet will be remembered as a fun-loving, happy, and kind woman who cherished her family and embraced life with a sense of adventure. May she rest in peace.
