Janell was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was a faithful temple worker, and attended the temple just weeks before her death. Janell was so much fun! She loved the outdoors and spending time with her friends as often as possible. She was an amazing listener, and someone you could always count on for anything! No words can describe how much she will be missed.

Janell was healthy for most of her life, until her sudden diagnosis with Pancreatic Caner. Although the last 9 months were difficult for her she continued attending concerts, seeing friends and holding her family tightly. She never gave up. She also spent time with her former spouse, Steve Hampton, and they remained friends until her death.
