Janet attended Denver Public Schools, Crofton and Smith Elementary, Smiley Junior High and East High School. Janet was the best at playing jacks among her siblings. She was also good at playing tether-ball and hop-scotch on the playground. She would take her two younger siblings and their cousins to the school ground and they would swing as high as they could on the swings and see who could jump out the swing the furthest, of course Janet did. They would play on the merry go-round until they would all get dizzy and sick. Janet was good at impersonations, like sounding like she was from Jamaica or being a Valley Girl. She would take on that voice in phone conversations or in person and people believed she was from the islands or Africa. Janet loved singing, reading, and journaling she start journaling in her teenage years. She was a good dancer in the 60’s through the 80’s after that she’d say, “I can’t do all that stuff they’re doing now”. Janet loved adding the elephant figurines and pictures to her large collection, she even named some of the elephant figurines she collected. Janet also liked playing games with her family and Madd Gab was her favorite, she always wanted to play that game because she thought is was so funny the sounds people made when they were trying to figure out what the actual word was. She loved listening to some of her favorite gospel artist like, Donnie McClurkin, who she loved a lot, she would say “he’s going to be my husband”! She also enjoyed Daryl Coley, all the old school artist, Johnnie Mathis (Chances Are) and of course Luther Vandross, she attended one of his concerts.
