Janet Eve Black was born to Roger T. Black and Emiliana M. Black on December 23, 1958, in Billings, Montana. Her life was full of many, many adventures. Her love for her family and friends was fierce! All of Janet’s family and friends would describe her as wonderful, humorous, inspiring, accepting, outspoken, reliable, unconditionally loving, pure, told great stories, and was a great listener. Janet was perfectly beautiful and the bravest woman you would ever meet.

Preceding her death were the love of her life, John L. Harp, and brother, Kelly L. Black, and her mother, Emiliana M. Black. Janet is survived by her two daughters, Emiliana (Amos) Richardson and Miralga (Gary)Lovato. Six fabulous grandchildren: Ascha, Isiah, Meling, Olivia, Malcolm, and Lucy. Her father, Roger T. Black, her sister JoeAnn Black, and little sis Stacey Black, along with many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews. Also, her very best friend of 16 years, Diana Claice of Montrose, CO whom she spent many adventures learning and laughing.
