Janet and Luther moved from Altoona to Philipsburg in 1950. She was employed as a secretary with the Philipsburg-Osceola Area School District until her retirement in 1988. She was a member of the First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Philipsburg and taught Sunday School at her church for 25 years.

Janet, known as Nana by those who loved her, loved to play the piano and turn anything into a song. She enjoyed attending lunches with her red hat group. Janet’s top priority was her family and loved visits from her great grandchildren. She brightened this world with her beautiful smile and contagious laugh and will live in the memories of everyone who had the pleasure of meeting her.
