Janet attended high school in Spring Lake Park, Minnesota. In 1966 she married Mark Boedigheimer and moved to Tennessee before returning to Minnesota in 1969. She worked for over 20 years as a material handler at Lamaur and later owned J&M Upholstery, where she restored beautiful furniture pieces. Janet spent many happy years at the family cabin on the Yellow River fishing and hosting gatherings. After divorcing Mark in 1994, she moved to Cambridge and soon met Jerome Lachinski. Together they shared a love of fishing, woodworking, and crafting cabinets until their retirement in Quamba.

Janet had a passion for gardening and took pride in canning her bountiful harvests to share with loved ones. She also enjoyed watching wildlife from her chair, especially the deer that visited her yard. Above all else, Janet cherished time with family and made it her priority in later years.

Her memory will be treasured by all who knew her. If love could have saved you...you would have lived forever.
