Janet was a graduate of Greenville High school and worked for many years as a bookkeeper. She enjoyed several years as a member of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority. Janet’s life centered around her love of family. She married Donald Beckmann on October 14, 1978 and together they lived in Texas, Michigan, and Ohio. Janet was an excellent cook and baker who delighted in preparing large meals for her family for every holiday. Janet was an avid non-fiction reader who loved biographies and true crime and liked sharing and discussing books with her daughter. Janet’s most treasured role in life was that of mother and grandmother. There was nothing more important to her than being involved with Paul and April, supporting them at every turn in life. She ended every conversation with “I love you.” A very close second to her children were her pets! They were her constant companions and a great source of comfort and joy. She was preceded in death by Lucy, Pepper, Mandi, Zoe, Maddie, and Gracie and is survived by Angel.
