Janna grew up in Osceola, Iowa and moved to Des Moines with her husband and children in 1967. She resided in the Saylorville area of Des Moines ever since. She earned a degree from DMACC and worked for Principal and Wells Fargo until retirement in 2021. She loved gardening, visiting with friends and family, and helping whenever she could.
