Upon graduating, she was employed by Pittsburgh Plate Glass and later the Monsanto Chemical Company.

Janet was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Robert E. Doak, on August 25, 2008. Her deepest desires were to always fulfill her roles of being a devout Christian and a dedicated and loving Wife, Mother and “Nana.”
