Janie List passed away in the summer of 2013. She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill, and son, Bill. She was an amazing Mother, GMA and "The Great". She is dearly missed by her family and friends.
Janie lived her life with gusto and enjoyed music, dancing and having a good time! Her motto could have been, "paint it red and hang a bell on it!". She had a great sense of humor and loved to make people laugh.
Janie spent most of her life in Tucson, Arizona. She worked administratively with the VA Medical Center for many years. After leaving the VA, she purchased and ran “The Hideout”, a Tucson local’s bar for many years. She was a great "boss" and "Mom" to many of the bartenders.
Janie moved to Sun Lakes, Arizona in the late 90’s and volunteered at the Sheriff’s Posse office, where she made several dear friends. She cherished them and especially their Tripoli get-togethers.
Janie was an avid University of Arizona Wildcats basketball fan and never missed a game. She knew all of the players’ biographies, game stats, took their playing very personally and often gave them heated side-line coaching from afar.
Janie had incredible computer skills for over 20 years. She was the “Google Queen” and researched things non-stop. It enabled her to do genealogy and trace her family back to the 1600’s. She also enjoyed investigative reporting, who-done-it TV crime shows and would have made a great detective. Janie liked going to the casino and had a special technique for finding the “good” machines.
Janie had a green thumb and could grow anything. She had many large vegetable gardens through the years. She liked buying sad-looking houseplants and turning them into thriving beauties. She also loved animals and especially her cat, “Spook”.
In 2013, Janie was baptized to re-affirm her Christian faith. We look forward to seeing her in Heaven again one day.
