Janet was a mother, a wife, a sister, an aunt, a friend, an entrepreneur, a teacher and so much more.
She enriched the lives of countless children and families through the in-home daycare she operated for over 30 years. She was passionate about teaching and nurturing children and was herself a lifelong learner, earning her Master’s degree in early childhood education at the age of 56.
She is survived by her 3 daughters, Rhiannon, Marley & Lindsay, and her loving husband, Philip, along with her siblings, Joy, Logan, Dave & Jill.
Her love of music, of laughter, of flowers and leaves will be remembered and passed on through the hearts of the immeasurable number of people whose lives she touched.
She will be missed terribly and celebrated fiercely.
