Born on Feb. 8, 1937, in Scranton, Janet was the daughter of the late Frederick and Helen (Kenyon) Crockenberg. She was the wife of the late George Heim, who passed away in 1970.
Having become a widow at the very early age of 33, Janet devoted her life to raising a loving family with patience and compassion. She devoted her life to her family and God and her faith was unwavering.
