Janet, affectionately known as Nan, was one of the truly good souls left in the world. Of all of the days the Father of Love could bring her home, He chose Good Friday.. Although Friday didn’t feel good at all for the multitude of people whom Janet loved, maybe we can understand that it was a perfect ay for her because now she is in our hearts forever known as a good person.

She was the most loving mother, grandmother, mentor and friend anyone could hope to have in their life. Janet was accepting and sincerely caring of everyone aro9und her. She enjoyed having huge family dinners at her home on Sundays. Everyone was always invited. She loved having a huge family, chatting, gardening, watching the children play, kayaking, and anything outdoors. Janet had a super healing touch and was the best at giving shots – you would never feel a thing!

Visitation will be Saturday, April 6, 2024, from 3-4 p.m. at Horne Funeral Home. Funeral Services will begin at 4 p.m. in the Chapel.
