Janet Greta McGinnis Eagle, age 89, passed away Monday, June 29, 2015, at Carillon Assisted Living in Salisbury. Born on Nov. 19, 1925, she was a daughter of the late W. Hinkle McGinnis and Iva Harris McGinnis of Kings Mountain.

She was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Landis. Janet and Herman enjoyed traveling in their retirement years, taking various trips and cruises. For more than 30 years, they enjoyed the fun and fellowship with the Carolina Travel Trailer Club, pulling their Airstream trailer from the mountains to the beaches.
