Janet Jett was affectionately known as “MiMi” to her family. She moved from Meadville, PA to Washington State when she was 14 years old. She met her beloved husband on a blind date in Las Vegas, Nevada while he was stationed at Nellis AFB. They were married for 51 wonderful years, traveling around the world while in the Air Force and in retirement running their Antique and Collectible shop, “Jett’s Collectibles” for many years. She had a special love for music working in music stores for many years. She met Pearl Bailey, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles and many others before they became famous. She spent her life as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and sister.

Those left to cherish her memory are her husband, Jerry Jett; her mother, Veronica Dunn; daughters, Jamie Jett; Jackie Jett-Milam and husband Terry Milam; grandson Logan McCole, sister Susan Wright; brother Leland Dunn, many nephews and nieces, and her cherished Irish Setter, “LADY”, who will keep her seat warm for her.
