Janie loved to spend time in Tennessee with her family, her furry baby Tazzy and work in her garden.
In life, she loved to travel for fun and in her career as an emergency medical carrier.
She was a sassy, fun-loving, free spirit that carried that energy to all parts of the country and to all who met her.
She will be missed by many.
Janie’s final request was to be cremated and taken to her favorite spot in Tennessee where she may Rest in Peace.
“Fly free Mom and know you are loved.”
