Janie worked over 30 years at First National Bank of Leesburg as a bookkeeper and later transitioned to safety deposit boxes when the bank became Sun Trust. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Leesburg for over fifty years and a member of the Faithful Ruth Class. She also achieved a life-time membership of over 50 years in the Eastern Star. Janie loved to cook and have her family all around her, especially on birthdays and holidays. One of her greatest joys was the time she spent watching her grandson grow into a young man.
