Together they lived South of Bagley where they built their dream home on 20 acres. Her love for wildlife, pines, and fresh air would get her through the daily care of keeping the property and home so beautiful. She would always make time for cooking, canning and gardening. Family and friends enjoyed Janie’s kind heart. She attended church in Bagley at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. Janie had an interest in the youth where she shared her time and resources. A hard honest day at work was instilled in her at a young age. This grounded her in life. Janie is deeply loved and will never be forgotten.
