She was born Janie Lee Hill in Denison, Texas on February 12, 1938, to Gerald Almedia Hill and Myrtie Garner Hill. Janie was raised in Fort Worth and graduated from Diamond Hill High School. She eloped to marry her high school sweetheart, Jack O'Day Dean, on December 20, 1955.

Moving during Jack's career with the Texas Department of Public Safety, Janie lived in Pecos, Tyler, McAllen and Waco, until they settled in San Antonio (Leon Valley) where they resided for forty-four years, until Jack's passing in 2022. Janie retired as a Personnel Coordinator for the Xerox Corporation.

She is survived by her sister, Jean Maltbie; her sons, Kyle Dean (Carol) and Cody Dean (Laura); and her grandson, Jackson Dean.

She was predeceased by her parents; sister, Gerry Fackler; her husband, Jack; and daughter, Kelly Dean.

Jack and Janie instructed that no memorial service be conducted. Instead, a joint graveside service at the Texas State Cemetery will be scheduled on a future date.

Those wishing to make a contribution in Janie's memory are encouraged to consider an animal rescue or pet adoption service.
