Janine attended Mount Ayr Community school and graduated with the class of 1978. She continued her education at Southwestern Community College in Creston, Iowa.
On January 8, 1979, Brien Wayne Johnson, Janine's only son, was born. Janine married Frank Johnson of Hoskins, Nebraska at the First Christian Church in Mount Ayr, Iowa. They lived in Hoskins until moving to Kearney, Missouri when Brien was a toddler. They later divorced. She later moved to Liberty, Missour and reunited with her high school crush, Randy Lee King, a senior when she was a freshman.

Janine loved all types of crafts, including working with plastic canvas, macrame', stenciling, cross stitch, crochet, modeling with polymer clay, scrapbooking and card and stationery making. She was so creative and talented that family and friends requested special projects made by her. Many happy hours were spent with their cats, Jimmy, Punkie, Fuzz, Shadow and Cinder. She and Randy also rescued several Japanese Chin dogs, Yoshi and Kenji from Wayside Waifs in Grandview, Missouri and Kaiko and Chicchai from smaller rescue organizations. She enjoyed competitions and was awarded first place in a recipe contest and won tickets to numerous events from listening to radio station KUDL in Kansas City, Missouri.
