Janet was born in Campbell County, Tennessee on February 20, 1940, the daughter of the late Frank Lovett and Mardecia Dyke Lovett. She retired from an administrative job with the Federal Government. Janet Lovett was a devoted mother and grandmother whose greatest joy in life was her son and grandchildren, whom she loved beyond measure. Strong-willed and independent, she found happiness in caring for animals, working in her yard, and cheering on her beloved Tennessee Volunteers. Her family was her world, and the love she gave them will remain in their hearts forever.

Surviving are her son, Bobby Lovett, and his wife, Amy; Grandchildren Christian Lovett and his wife, Olivia and Lauren Lovett; a sister Bertha Carter, and brother James Lovett. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by siblings, Charles Lovett, Moses Lovett, Ruby Cox, Callie Stuart, and Jesse Lovett.
