Janell McNally, Mrs. McNally, Jen Farmer.  Mother of 4, Educator of hundreds, Friend to many many more.

Janell was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer in 2017. Despite radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy treatments, she was advised by doctors that she had exhausted treatment options.  Janell passed around 12:10pm on May 12th.

As a primary school teacher for 12 years with the  Adelanto School District and 4-H Leader, Janell has helped raise the High Desert's youth.  In 2014, Janell became a foster mom to 3 wonderful children and in 2016 she adopted them.  

Janell will be survived by her 4 incredible children: Elijah (17), Ezra (9), Clare (8) and Caden (6).  Through each one of her kids, her quirky sense of humor, love for animals, and zest for life will live on.

We appreciate the outpouring of support we have received and ask that those who want to contribute financially, please do so through this page.  Money donated will be used to support her kids.
