Janet enjoyed retirement, traveling with her husband, and grandchildren. She was honored to be called "Gammy," by her grandchildren and great-grandchild. She was inspired in many ways by her own relationship with her grandma Belle Gilliam, who she greatly loved and admired. Janet was an advocate for U.S Veterans and a Navy wife to her husband Jim, who proudly served his country for 22 years. Both Janet and Jimmy were proud Purple Pups class of 1962.

Her grandchildren Jenn Carter (fiance Gwen), Chandler Wells, Logan Wells, and great-grandchild Everett Eldon Piffer. She is also survived by her sister Judy Qualls and brothers in law Russell Qualls and Fred Hale.
