Janet was the daughter of Earnest but when Verma died in 1937, Earnest left Janet with his brother Charley and Pauline to raise. He then moved to Ohio with his son Leonard (Skip). Since Janet spent her entire childhood with Pauline and was raised next to her daughters, when Pauline died they included her in the obit as a daughter because that was the only mother she ever knew.
