Janet loved reading; settling in with a good book was her favorite pastime. She also loved gardening, having coffee with friends, fishing and camping with Rod, and spending time with family. She also enjoyed traveling; some of her travels include Canada, Mexico, and St. Martin. She was a kind, gentle soul who had a smile and a friendly word for everyone.
