Janet was a lifelong resident of Porterville, attending Vandalia Elementary, Pioneer Junior High, and graduating from Porterville High School in 1971. She had many memories she shared with her children of her high school years and enjoyed catching up with classmates at the class reunions.

Janet was a homemaker after high school taking care of her two children, Katrina born in 1973 and Brandon born in 1975. She also helped with the bookkeeping at Porterville Auto Parts for several years before joining her two brothers in the family business at White's Market. She was very proud to be a business owner with her brothers and continuing the business her father started in 1945. Shortly after selling White's Market in 1995, she opened Janet's Lil' Nail and Hair House where she worked as a manicurist for several years before accepting a position with the State of California. She worked at several State facilities, retiring after 15 years in 2016.

Janet enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, watching her grandchildren in their various activities, playing board games and cards, camping, swimming (she loved the water), going to the movies, bowling, walking her dog Dixie, and in her younger days riding her motorcycle.

She left an impression and touched so many lives throughout the years. She was such a strong person and showed her children how to be strong. She is deeply loved and will be missed beyond words.
