Janet was never one to sit still. She enjoyed staying busy with volunteer work at thrift stores, her children’s school, or baking cookies and decorating cakes for anyone who simply needed their day brightened. She constantly put the needs of others before her own.
Janet also enjoyed staying busy with her mind. She enjoyed puzzles, word searches, and embroidery. She also enjoyed working in her flower garden, bird watching, and spending time with her Shelties. Janet loved attending Branson shows, and even made friends with several performers. Her favorite activity of all was to follow her family around, especially her granddaughter, Sarah.
Janet is survived by her loving husband, Floyd Henderson of Lebanon, MO; one daughter, Amanda Henderson of Lebanon, Missouri; one son, Joseph Henderson and his wife, Analou of Katy, TX; one granddaughter; Sarah Henderson; and a number of friends and family.
