In Janet's childhood years she grew up on the shore in Amityville near Bayview Avenue and spent time catching and selling crabs. Janet's utmost importance was her home, family and their wellbeing. She enjoyed crocheting and knitting items, especially for her grandchildren. She was an avid shopper, never missing a good sale. Janet also loved to bowl and for several years belonged to a women's bowling league at Terrace Lanes in Troy. Janet will always be remembered as an independent woman.
