Janet had one grandchild; Demi Blevins of Elizabethton, TN. The young family lived in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. In 1978, a more permanent home was established in Mountain City, TN. Janet worked hard for years at Levi Strauss and Lois’ Country Café. She was a friendly, fun loving woman who genuinely loved waitressing. She enjoyed playing cards, (Often pulling all-nighters when sisters would visit). She was a loyal UT Vol fan; winning or losing. The absolute joy of her life was watching her granddaughter play any sport. She favored volleyball and was a spectator of JCMS and JCHS Longhorn matches for decades. She experienced many fun trips with her friends at the Senior Center. Janet did not want an official service but a celebration of her life. In lieu of flowers, Janet ask that donations be made to St Judes Children’s Hospital (as she did) or contribute to any righteous cause. Please sign her guest book and share stories!
