Janet Sylvia Mann

Janet was born in New York City in 1925. The family moved to California where she met the love of her life, Eddy Mann. They moved to Dallas in 1954 to begin their dreams of having a family together. Family was everything to Janet and she felt raising her 5 children was her greatest accomplishment.

She is survived by her children, Lynda Paris, Valerie Splaine, Karen Mann, Bonnie Mann and Alan Mann; grandchildren, David Goren, Aaron Mare, Michael Mann, Adam Mann, Olivia Mann; and great-granddaughter, Isabella Goren.

Janet’s full time job was raising 5 children, along with keeping the books of the family business. Janet found time to volunteer at Presbyterian Hospital in Labor & Delivery, which she loved, including all forms of the arts as well. She enjoyed playing the piano and her signature score was Rhapsody in Blue. She was a very good artist and a golfer in her younger years.

Janet was a member of B’nai Brith where she cultivated and enjoyed many friendships throughout the years. She loved to party and entertain family and friends at her home. Janet was a member of Temple Emanuel for many years; she wanted to make sure her children had a meaningful Jewish education. She always made time for family vacations and even some trips on her own with one of her kids, so travel was a wonderful addition to her life long journey.

In her most recent years, she enjoyed the view from her bedroom, full of family photos, the ducks and squirrels that surrounded her pool and garden, and she always said....... she lived in paradise.

Her spirit, sense of humor, and love of family resonated throughout her life. She was an inspiration to all her family and friends. She will be missed and forever loved by all.

Graveside service will be held at 2:00 PM Thursday, April 7, at Hillcrest Memorial Park, 7405 W. Northwest Hwy., Dallas, Texas.
