She was born on June 27, 1931, in McLean County, to the late John D. and Christine Daughtery Nicely. Janada worked at the G.E. Plant for 38 years and MPD for 6 years before retiring, and then worked with her husband in his business, Hagerman Plumbing and Heating. She learned the value of hard work, kindness, and creativity that would carry her through life.

Jack and Janada were dedicated members of Century Christian Church for over 4 decades together, she spent a lot of time there in her later years and gave a lot to the church before it closed due to Covid. She was always there for her family and friends in their time of need, she was treasured and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Janada enjoyed working in her yard, which she took great pride in, and going to work on the farm where she grew up in McLean County, KY, Buck Creek area.

Along with her parents, she was also preceded in death by the love of her life, her husband of 57 years, Charles L. “Jack” Hagerman.
