Janie was a graduate of Jamaica Plain High School, and The Mount Ida College in Newton, where she completed a secretarial program. As a young woman she belonged to a singles club and enjoyed the opportunity to dress up and go dancing at places like Mosely’s on the Charles. She worked at Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, but after her marriage and a move to Plymouth, MA, she spent a period of time caring for her mother-in-Law who was dying of cancer. Following this sad time, she worked as a cashier at stores in the area including Bradlees, and Walmart where she enjoyed meeting people. Upon retirement she enjoyed gambling at Foxwoods and eating out with friends.
