She began fulfilling that calling prior to college graduation at First Presbyterian Church in Ada as the Director of Christian Education for Children, Youth & College.

Janey married her best friend, Tony Thomas on Saturday, January 4, 2020, at Ada First United Methodist Church. She feels very blessed by God in all the many opportunities that have been given to her.
