She excelled at southern cooking and taught her family to enjoy vegetables. She was very creative and enjoyed decorating in not always traditional ways.

Janis is survived by her children, Claudia Archer of Warsaw, Robert (Lisa) Omstead of Rogers, AK, Carl Omstead of El Cerrito, CA and his wife Julia of NY, and John (partner Christine) Omstead of Bourbonnais, IL; a granddaughter, grandson and great-grandson; daughter-in-law, Dr. Susie Omstead of Salem, OR, daughter-in-law, JoAnne Venhuizen of Crown Point; grandson Scott DeSalle in the U.S. Navy at Virginia Beach, VA; and her good friends, Carol and Janet Price.
