Janet was content to be a housewife a great neighbor and a friend to anyone who met her. This changed in 1997 when the Salvation Army needed someone to head up the Christmas Cheer program. Wanting to do more, Janet set up the thrift store which helped fund all of the social service programs and Christmas Cheer. Janet retired in 2010.

Through all these bouts with sickness she never complained, she took strength of family love.

Hill, her son, Weston Clatanoff and wife Sandy of Mooresboro, her daughter, Vicky Stull of Nebraska, her grandson, Chase Clatanoff, step-son, Brian Hill and wife Michelle of California, and step-daughter, Janes Mason of Chicago, IL, and her step-grandchildren, Andrew Hill, Evan Hill, and Isabelle Hill.
