Janette was born on March 15, 1921 to Edwin and Evelyn (Thompson) Brown in Allen Creek, Black River Falls, Wisconsin. She attended school in Snow Creek for 8 years and graduated from Black River Falls High School in 1939. Janette worked for Schultz Brothers and, for a short time, at a box factory. On November 1, 1943, she was united in marriage with Tom G. Morgan in Naperville, IL. They lived in Southport, North Carolina while Tom was stationed there and then moved back to Wisconsin and lived in Elroy, Black River Falls, Dodgeville, Kiel, Clintonville, Ripon, and in 1968 they moved to Beaver Dam. Janette worked in theater with Tom for 25 years working the concession stand at the outdoor theaters in both Beaver Dam and Ripon. She enjoyed playing cards and Bingo as well as working on her genealogy and tending to her flowers in her garden. She enjoyed collecting Santa figures, angels, and dolls and used some of these to decorate her Christmas trees. Janette liked to travel and visited Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Ohio; she also enjoyed dining out with her family and friends. Janette was a member of Grace Presbyterian Church in Beaver Dam.
