For many years, Janet worked for Butch Quigley Construction, and she then went on her own doing smaller jobs like siding, fascia, and soffit work and an occasional roof or two during the summer months. She scaled down to passing the time working in her wood shop on many different projects. Janet, always independent, never really retired, she just kept working until she couldn’t anymore.

Janet was an avid Milwaukee Braves and Brewers fan, listening to and watching the games while keeping a scorebook. She was fond of her breakfast with the girls at Jackie’s Parkside, and enjoyed Friday night fish frys with an old fashioned. She bowled for many years on the Rice Pharmacy team, and liked going on casino trips, playing cards, and watching her grandkid’s softball and baseball games. Janet was a member of Grace Lutheran Church in Omro.
