Ms Armstrong’s eldest brother, Sam Davison, said his family was desperate for any information about the mother-of-one.
“We want anyone with information about Jana’s disappearance to contact police or Crimestoppers or anyone in the family directly,” he said.
Mr Davison said there were four siblings in their family and that his sister, Jana, always cared deeply for other people and had a beautiful heart.
“We have two boys and she loved them so much she would come on holidays with us all the time, over at our place three nights a week,” Mr Davison said.
He said Ms Armstrong also spent a lot of time with their sister and her family.
“She also loved to go places and be outdoors so much,” he said.
Mr Davison said the siblings were very close and had all helped care for their parents in their final years.
