Janet loved animals! Everyone who knew her knew she loved all kinds of animals. She was a true good Samaritan, taking in not only animals in need of help or a home, but also people who were in need. She was generous and kind-hearted. She was an amazing artist by profession and in her own time. She appreciated beautiful artwork as well as nature’s beauty.
Janet is survived by her son, Jason; grandson, Dylan; sister, Karen; brother, Pat; and so many other family members, both natural and adopted by spirit, and many, many friends.
