She was truly an angel on earth. She loved spending time with her family and especially her grandchildren. On August 9, she celebrated her 59th birthday with her 2 sisters, 3 children, and 8 grandchildren by her side. To use her words, “it was a fabulous day!” and she was a fabulous, selfless, fun loving, JOYFUL lady, that always had a smile on her face. She was a true fighter and even when she was in her final hours she kept her spirits high and embraced her family one last time.
Janet graduated from the College of Eastern Utah with a Bachelors of Science Degree. She was the first college student to graduate in her family. She also completed a course for life coaching. She loved helping people and continued to share her knowledge and experience with others.
