While living in Pittsfield, Janet was an active member of P.E.O., a philanthropic organization focused on educating and celebrating the advancement of women. Besides taking great pride in the life journeys of her children and grandchildren, she loved entertaining friends and family, mostly waiting on them hand and foot; playing golf and following the career of Arnold Palmer; actively supporting the ministries of Messiah Lutheran Church; and finding the best cruise deal to enjoy a vacation with Will.
