Janet Hevey

Janet Louise Learned Hevey, 78, of Fairview, Texas, passed away on Tues., May 4, 2021 at Faith Presbyterian Hospice Center in Dallas after a 16-year battle with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. 

In 2006, Janet was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis with a three to five year life expectancy. A routine surgical procedure in 2013 triggered her need for oxygen. In 2014, she was preliminarily accepted into the Duke lung transplant program. She simultaneously learned of her second grandson Tanner’s pending arrival and decided to forgo the transplant to spend quality time with her family. The Lord blessed her with seven additional years.
