Janet was born August 18, 1956 to Billie and Travis Clifton in Houston, Texas. She attended Midland schools and Odessa College. On October 17, 1973, she married her soul mate and best friend, Roy Jay McNew.
Janet was employed in 1979 as a teacher's aide at West Elementary School in Midland then transferred to Ben Milam elementary, where she developed some very devoted time and energy to everyone that needed her, especially the children and the teachers for 31 years.
