After she retired from education, she was a loyal Crown Point Bulldog and attended many athletic activities. She was inducted into the Crown Point High School “Teacher Hall of Fame” in 2019.

Janet truly loved sporting events. She and her husband were Purdue football season ticket holders for 30 years and especially loved the marching band. She was also a passionate Indianapolis 500 car race fan and attended the race the last 25 years. She avidly watched the Chicago Cubs, Blackhawks, Purdue and IU basketball and NASCAR racing events. Janet, a very competitive person, loved to play cards, especially euchre. She also enjoyed Sudoku, crossword puzzles, reading, watching movies, traveling the country in her RV, and spending time with her husband Bob, her dog Windsor, and her friends. One of her favorite yearly events was attending the Purdue Music Organization (PMO) Christmas show and dining at Mountain Jacks afterward.

Janet was a devoted wife, dedicated teacher, and valued friend. For the last seven months, she bravely battled an aggressive cancer with her husband by her side. She will be greatly missed.
