She loved spending time with her family for any occasion or for no occasion at all. And she loved to spend her Saturdays playing Bingo with her daughter Brenda, her granddaughter Jamie and her friends at the Dunbar Athletic Boosters Bingo Hall, including Gloria Richmond and Shelly Hardy, just to name a few. Janet was also an avid pet lover all of her life, right up to the very end, rescuing so many four legged friends that it would be difficult to name them all. Faithful friends that she gladly shared her love, her life and her home throughout the years. We lost our loving mother, grandmother and best friend, and our lives will never be the same. She always had a beautiful smile that could light up the world. We were so blessed to have her for a Mother. Thank you God for giving us the best Mother in the world. If you ever had the pleasure of knowing our mother in any capacity at all, you would understand what a massive loss this is to us all. Janet was not one to impose on anyone, and would not wish anyone to put themselves our on her account, but instead prefer that they simply think of her from time to time, and hope that thought would always bring a smile. The family of Janet wishes to extend our sincere thanks to the Staff at CAMC Memorial Emergency Staff, to the Cath lab to the Perfusion Dept. and the Open Heart Unit for going above and beyond with their loving care of our dear Mother. Visitation with the family will be from 6 to 8 PM Monday April 2, 2018 at Cunningham-Parker-Johnson Funeral Home. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM Tuesday April 3, 2018 at Cunningham-Parker-Johnson Funeral Home with the Rev. Roger Hammons officiating.
