On Sept. 7, 1957, she married the love of her life, Shelton Lilley. Together they had three wonderful and loving children. Janet worked for the Forsyth County School System for over 25 years, where she touched the lives of many children.
Janet was a loving servant to our Lord, serving for more than 35 years at Main Street United Methodist Church, Kernersville, and most recently at Stallings United Methodist Church in Union County.
