Janie loved researching her family’s genealogy. She kept her findings in multiple notebooks, which will now be donated to TCU for their archives. The Thannisch family loved Fort Worth and invested in the city in many special ways. Learning new things and visiting with her friends were very important to Janie. She also enjoyed music, especially of the church and of Christmas. She did not miss a musical program at her church or Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and in many other venues. Of course, she loved to indulge in chocolate in any circumstance! Each day, Janie made a schedule for herself about what she needed to do that particular day. Reading her well-worn Bible was always the first on that list. Janie Thannisch was an active member in many organizations: The Woman’s Club of Fort Worth, The Fort Worth Garden Club, Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Fort Worth Lecture Foundation. She was also a generous supporter of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary as a member of its Women’s Auxiliary and its Board of Visitors, as well as the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, the Sandy Creek Foundation, and the Salvation Army. Janie was a member of Christ Chapel Bible Church. Even when she was no longer able to attend services, she prayed for her pastors Brother Ted and Brother Cody; and she participated regularly in the Bible studies in her residential facility. In summary, Janie loved and honored the Lord Jesus every day of her life and now she is enjoying the heavenly court forever in His presence.
