For several years she and Eddie moved around the US quite extensively living in states from Idaho to Mississippi. They made their way back to Casper in 1970 and she went back to work for Hilltop National Bank. She soon was Vice President of Installment Loans. Janet would say the most rewarding part of her career was lending and helping people to achieve their dreams.

Gary and Janet loved the outdoors and spent much of their time traveling, hunting, fishing, four-wheeling and golfing. One of Janet's true passions was playing Bridge. She was also a member of many bridge clubs, sometimes playing two or three times a week. If she wasn't playing bridge with the ladies, you could find her at home playing bridge on the computer. Above all of these things Janet loved her family dearly and would do all within her power to give them the world. Her love for them was unending and absolutely unconditional.
