Janet’s life began May 31, 1943, in Benton Harbor. She spent most of her life in Michigan, growing up in Eau Claire where she graduated high school. She later resided in St. Joseph and then Bainbridge Township where she had her last child. Janet later moved to Arizona where she met her life partner, David L. Kalina, and lived several years before returning to Michigan.

She is survived by: five children, Martha (Todd) McGrady, John (Karla) Flippo, Anna Harper, Geoffrey Flippo, and Matthew (Katrina) Rosenbaum; twelve grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; her life partner David Kalina; a brother George Hill; and several nieces and nephews.
