Janie Bryant Stineback passed away to be with God Sunday 8:30 p.m. on the eve of Oct. 9, 2005; she will be greatly missed by all. Survived by her husband for which they were blessed for 35 years which she knew at first sight he was the one, Don Stineback; her beloved children from first marriage Kenneth Brant, Cathy Walters, and Danny Brant with 4 grandchildren. Her step-children Alan and Robin Stineback. Her siblings, brother Jim and sister Sassy Jean and her loyal buddy and friend Muffin Jenet. Janie was quite a woman, strong and determined to raise her children with pure love, devotion, and persistence. She changed the way music is played in the Phoenix area, Verde Valley and quite a few other places. She brought a shinny spark to the whole music industry with her comic relief, her dance numbers, her sing-a-longs, and don't forget her homemade costumes. Most of all her un-ending knowledge and her ability to write, remember, and play music all with out any formal training in the industry. Most memorable for her was she knew every song requested. Her favorite audiences were for the veterans and the elderly through the American Legion, VFW and retirement centers.
