Janet was a 2007 graduate of Troy Christian High School and the Upper Valley Joint Vocational School where she earned her cosmetology certificate. She worked in medical billing and as the receptionist for Advance Foot and Ankle. For many years, she drove a small school bus and worked as an aid as well as in the lunch room for Piqua City Schools. She loved to assemble Lego’s and attend any and every extracurricular event Hannah was involved in from Softball to band and choir. She was the glue that held her family together. She was always willing to give others her time and was always checking in on her family and friends. She was one of the most caring people you could ever meet; until it came to playing Phase 10, where she became extremely competitive and was ALWAYS out to win. She will be deeply missed by her loving family and many friends. The family would also like to extend a special “Thank You” to the incredibly talented and patient staff of the Heart & Vascular Intensive Care Unit at Miami Valley Hospital who took such great care of Janet and her family.
