Janet was a Christian and a member of Glad Tidings Assembly of God, Hurricane. Due to her illness, she was not able to attend church services but continued to read her Bible, pray for her family, talk to loved ones about their soul and she praised Jesus in her home and wherever she was. She loved to claim the blood of Jesus and was looking forward to praising Him in person. Janet was a graduate of Duval High School, where she was selected as Miss Yellowjacket. She attended Morris Harvey College and West Virginia State College. She taught in several Lincoln county schools. Herb and Janet will be remembered as a couple who opened up their home to anyone who needed a place to stay. They welcomed all the young folks in to visit and enjoy their swimming pool and they always made sure they had plenty to eat. Janet loved to shop and buy nice things for her home and made sure her home was a seasonal showcase of beauty for all guests to enjoy. She had a generous heart and her family looked forward to her visits because she always came with her luggage and bags filled with gifts for them. You never knew what she would pull out of them. Janet has many family and friends that will love and miss her and we know she would ask each one to make preparations to join her and others in Heaven ? that was her greatest concern and desire. The family would like to thank her caregivers, Deloris Perry, Mason and Debbie Kirk and Tonya Byrd, for their support and compassion as well as her special cousins, Wilma Teel, Trilby Baumgartner and Kathy Risk.
