On July 26, 1960 she was united in marriage to Roger Mattson and to this union two daughters were born: Lori Lynn and Angela Louise. On December 30, 1982 she was united in marriage to David Rosenthal. The couple enjoyed time at the lake, boating and spending time with their grandchildren.

Janie had a special place in her heart for children and enjoyed babysitting for many families through the years. She enjoyed the many friendship bonds formed over the years caring for children and these relationships continued into their adulthood and in some cases even into the next generation. She enjoyed cooking, baking, tending to her flowers, gardening and caring for others over the years. Family was very important to Janie and she loved vacationing in Colorado, with her cousins.
