Janie shared her mother’s passion for reading and loved having animals around her. She previously worked as a server and in retail sales, was an avid track and field fan and an excellent runner. She also was a member of the soccer and field hockey teams at Northern High School. Janie was a baptized Catholic and a Brownie and member of Penn Laurel Troop 783.
She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

For years Janie had battled an opioid addiction that ultimately ended her life's journey. Janie's life has ended in tragedy for her and those who loved her; it is the family's wish that perhaps her story may help those struggling in the throes of addiction.
