A devoted and compassionate nurse, Janet dedicated 53 years to the nursing profession, providing exceptional care and comfort to countless patients and earning the admiration of colleagues and community alike.

Born and raised in Randolph County, Janet remained deeply connected to her community throughout her life. She was known not only for her professionalism, but also for her gentle spirit, warm presence, and genuine concern for others.
A private graveside service will be held for family and close friends to honor Janet’s life and legacy.
In lieu of flowers, her family kindly requests that memorial donations be made to the Randolph County Humane Society (PO Box 785 Elkins WV, 26241), a cause dear to Janet’s heart and reflective of her love for animals and her generous, giving nature. Janet’s legacy of caring will continue to live on through the lives she enriched, both in the nurse’s uniform and beyond. 2nd North will never be the same.
