Janie married Dan ‘Digger’ Wimmer June 14, 1990 in Lakin, Kan. She was a marketing director for St. Catherine’s Hospital in Garden City, Kan. and sold advertising for the Garden City Telegram.

In life Janie found her joy laughing at the witty jokes of her children until she cried. She was the grandma that loved to spoil her grandchildren endlessly and encouraged them in all their dreams. With Dan, her husband and best friend, by her side they built a family through many ups and downs, that brought her the greatest pride.
