Janis was a devoted life-long Catholic who served her community in many ways.  She was a founding member of both the Most Blessed Sacrament Legion of Mary, and the Rosary Makers Guild which made rosaries that were sent around the world.  Janis was also a Eucharistic Minister and took communion to home-bound members of the community.  She was a lay member of the Order of St. Francis, participated in her church census, volunteered at her church’s annual festival, and many other church activities.  Janis was also a volunteer Boy Scout troop leader.
