She was born December 7, 1928 in Bloodvein, MB to Peter and Helen McKay, the middle daughter of three. Since Janet has come to Portage, the family has been appreciative of the good and loving care given her by the staff at MDC and wish to express their thanks to them at this time. Janets laughter and teasing spirit will always be remembered by those who knew her. Although confined to her wheelchair for the past few years, Janet was always on the go!
