Janelle was blessed with 3 amazing sons, Brooks, Bentley and Beckam. They are her whole world and pride and joy. She has a loving fiancé, Devin, who has loved and supported her throughout the years.

Her caring, loving and giving personality made her a perfect fit for her life’s callings; being a mom and nurse.  Her patients were so important to her. She made them feel like nothing else mattered and that they were the only patient she was caring for.  Being a mom is what matters the very most to her.  Her boys are her pride and joy.  She’s so very proud of them and will continue to love, help and support them from the other side.   Janelle is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  She enjoyed crafting and making lasting memories with her family.
