She was a member of St. Thomas Catholic Church. The dry sense of humor that Janet “The Cute One” Yates had along with her unique hat collection were almost legendary. She enjoyed weekly singing at the nursing homes with her sisters and enjoyed playing her guitar. As a true member of the Yates Family, Janet loved cheering for local teams as well as Iowa and Iowa State. “The Cute One” will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
