Born on January 3, 1938, in Alliance, Ohio, Janet was the cherished daughter of Russell and Virginia Kinser. She spent her life embracing family, friendship, and the simple joys of making others smile.

Janet is lovingly remembered by her two daughters, Jodi (Ralph) Handy, and Lisa (Eric) Boring. She was a proud grandmother to MacKenzie (Jeremy) Thomas and Cade Boring, and she treasured every moment with her great-grandson, Palmer Thomas, who brought immense happiness to her life.

She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Russell and Virginia Kinser, and by her dear friend, Linda Householder, whose friendship meant so much to her throughout the years.

Janet dedicated 23 years of service to Mount Union College before completing her career at Copeland Oaks. She was known for her dedication, kindness, and genuine care for others throughout her working years.

Janet spent her final years at Crandall Medical Center, where she continued her cherished friendship with her good friend, Arlene Baddeley. Their companionship brought comfort, laughter, and joy to each other, and their friendship remained a special blessing throughout Janet's final years.

Janet also leaves behind her lifelong friend, Denise Ramey. Their friendship began when they were little girls and grew into a treasured bond that lasted a lifetime.
