The highlight of Janis’ life was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She loved her family more than anything else and loved watching her granddaughters play ball and just enjoyed playing with them.
Janis enjoyed all of the holidays, Easter and Halloween and most especially Christmas. She enjoyed decorating her house and yard and coming up with something new each year. She loved watching the cars drive by and hearing from parents how much their children enjoyed it. Janis also enjoyed planting flowers and working in her yard in the summer.
The family would especially like to thank her nurses, Stephanie and Mikayla, for their care.
