In 1943 her family moved to Central Florida. Along with her brother Charles she attended local elementary, Junior High and High School. She graduated from Winter Park High School in 1952 and shortly thereafter went to work at the Orlando Credit Bureau.

The following year she moved with her parents to Columbia, SC to be near her brother Charles and his wife Ruby (Hammond) Ditmer.

She met and married Jim Arrington in 1954. After their divorce she continued working at the Credit Bureau in Columbia.

In 1960 she married Bela Andresz, who had immigrated from Pecs (Pay-ch), Hungary. Bela was a Specialist 4th Class member of the US Army from 1959-1964.

Due to Bela’s assignment near Frankfurt, Germany, Janet and her parents moved back to Florida. Their daughter Angela was born in 1962 in Orlando. About 6 months later Janet and Angela joined Bela in Germany.
