Janell's children and grandchildren were the joy of her life. She and Dwaine cherished the times they got to spend playing with and supporting family. They were usually found on the sidelines or in the stands of their children's and grandchildren's sporting events and activities. Janell also enjoyed camping, getting together with friends, playing games, and making crafts. One of the highlights of her month was getting together with her "Grannies" group for laughing and sharing stories about her kids and grandkids, and don't forget the pictures. Janell was an active member of the First Christian Church in Sedgwick and Broadway Christian Church in Wichita as youth sponsor, Sunday school & VBS teacher, children's choir director, and adult choir member. While raising her family Janell worked in the school districts in Sedgwick and Wichita. She worked in food service and the office in Sedgwick's school system before transferring to the Wichita school system where she worked at Linwood and Rea Woodman schools. She then worked in the administrative center for the Wichita school district in the personnel department before retiring as an administrative assistant to the superintendent.
