Janet was a respiratory therapist for Community Hospital South for 23 years before retiring. She was also a faithful member of Mt. Gilead Church, Mooresville.

I will always remember Janet greeting me with a big smile and being an extremely loving person to everyone she came in contact with. Whenever I saw Janet and Jerry together I could easily tell how much they loved each other. To my friend Jerry, I am so sorry for your loss and always know you and Janet have meant a lot to me. I am praying for you and your family during this difficult time. All of us here in SC, The Uhls and myself, are with you in spirit and will continue to pray for y’all in the coming days.
My sincere condolences to everyone. God Bless all of you during this difficult time.
Janet was a beautiful soul and a friend once made would be forever. She was always there for me and sent me things to remind never to give up when things were challenging. Now she will remain with all as an Angel. Love you my friend❤️ߕŠ

I loved working with Janet. She was a great therapist and friend. We enjoyed sharing God’s word and His blessings whenever we had a chance to talk. We also enjoyed laughing and having fun. She loved her Lord and her family; may that be her legacy. Kathy Rapp
