She moved to Louisville, Kentucky during her freshman year of high school and graduated from Atherton High School. She went on to earn a degree in English from the University of Louisville.

Janet loved Jesus, her family, Campbellsville Baptist Church and the Gideon’s International. She was an avid Bible student, a wonderful writer, a detailed documentarian of travels, a gardener of her treasured irises, a seeker of knowledge, and a lover of crossword and jigsaw puzzles.
In addition to her husband, Janet was preceded in death by her parents, Jesse Lyons Chambers and Mason Little Chambers of Louisville, and her sister Colleen Singleton of Memphis, Tennessee.
