     Janie retired from Huntington Schools where she drove a school bus for 40 years.  Janie started the Blue Ribbon 4-H club in 1977 and was a large part of 4-H and the Ross County fair for over 50 years.

     She was a devoted member of Bethel Chapel C.U. She used her beautiful voice and played the piano for many years at Bethel Chapel and numerous other churches around the area. 

     While we are sad, we know she is rejoicing in heaven as she would often say “I’m ready to go home and be with the lord.”

     A special thank you to her friends at the Glade for making her feel welcome and happy while she was there.
