Janet was born in Boise, Idaho to Robert Davidson and Gertrude Fraser.

Janet married her beloved husband, Emmett Herndon and they enjoyed 72 years of marriage and resided in Boise.
She and Emmett were long time owners of Peasley Transfer and Storage.
Janet had and enjoyed many hobbies that included sewing, tennis, gardening, biking and swimming in Payette Lake and she was a Boise Philharmonic fan.

She was preceded in death by her mother Gertrude Atherton Fraser, her father Robert Mobray Davidson, step mother Georgia Davidson, and sister Carolyn Bradford Brown.
Chick was a wonderful mother and her motto was “Kids don’t belong in the house!” which led her children to explore the neighborhood, ride bikes all over town, sleep out on the trampoline, and have so many adventures.
She can be seen in her photo wearing Williams attire, as that is the college that Emmett attended during the war. She was always very supportive of her husband. She was loved by many and will be missed by all.
