graduating in 1962. Janet was married in Cleveland, then they moved to Columbus while her husband studied at Ohio State getting his PhD. They then moved to Westover, West

Virginia. Janet worked at the West Virginia Out Patient Clinic for 25 years where she worked in registration.

Center because there are so many friendly people. If you ever need help someone is right there for you.

Janet enjoys playing cards, dominoes, Wii bowling, just about everything! Janet also enjoys helping with the
