Having reached the age of 87, Janeann was born in Freeport on December 11, 1935, the daughter of the late Gertrude (Thompson) and Charles E. Barrett. Janeann was united in holy matrimony in Texas to Alejandro "Alex" DeLeon and to this union were born two daughters. After almost 51 loving years of marriage Alex went to be with the Lord in 2016. As a Navy wife, she and Alex moved the Deleon family around the United States and U.S. territories. They settled in Smithfield, North Carolina for over 35 years. She was an active member at Centenary United Methodist Church during this time. Her career was in early childhood education and Janeann, alongside partners, designed and began the preschool at the First Presbyterian Church in Smithfield at which she taught until she retired.
