A devoted wife and mother, she returned to Midland, nurturing her family and even delving into animal welfare, local politics, and managing her family's oil and gas business. Known for her intelligence, assertiveness, and compassion, she was deeply committed to her three sons and cherished her eight grandchildren.

Janet is survived by her sons Keith Russell House, Quillan Grant Harris, and Drew Prescott Harris, along with her brother Kirby Davis and niece Amanda Henderson. She is also survived by her beloved grandchildren. She is predeceased by her parents Dana Lee and James Barron Davis.
