Janet was born on April 28, 1919, in Marietta, Ohio. She was the daughter of the late Charles and Mary Lenington.

Janet and Lawrence moved to Arizona in 1988 and she lived there until she moved in with her daughter, Betty, in 2004.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Lawrence Beardmore, her parents Charles and Mary Lenington, her aunt Louise Fox (Aunt Lou), her son, Dan Beardmore, her grandson, Floyd Coe, granddaughter-in-law Judy Coe, her great-great granddaughter Vandalla, and many brothers and sisters.
