Janet was such a pleasure to be around both at work & away from work. I had been at the Mercury News for several years before I started working for her & soon thereafter found out that Janet actually knew me as a child. And to my surprise, I knew her mother too. I have many wonderful memories of this special lady. My condolences to her family.

My fondest memories of Janet is the from the times spent at her beautiful home in Roseville. It was always fun to reminisce over old times. I remember that Win once told us that he enjoyed our visits, because he liked to hear Janet's laughter. Just recently had the opportunity to meet her Grandson's and her future daughter-in-laws. I hope that I'm shown as much love and care that she had on her last days. They were her Angels on earth and she loved them very much.  Janet will be forever in my heart and I will miss her.

It's about an hour and a half before Janet's services begin this morning. It's with both sadness and happy memories as I reflect on my personal and professional association with Janet. As others have stated, she was a warm, compassionate and fun person. She was extremely fair when dealing with friends and fellow employees. What I learned most from Janet was how to stay calm when things around me were helter skelter. I have so many memories of my time with Janet that there's not enough space here to even describe 1% of them. So, I will close by saying that I know I am a better person for knowing and working with Janet for so many years. She definitely is one of a kind and will be missed by all of us.

There are no words to express the profound impact Janet had on my life. She was my mentor, my trusted confidante, my lunch buddy, my sister, but most of all my dear friend. She gave me many gifts, one of the most treasured was the gift of laughter. She taught me what a sense of humor was all about, and how much it can enrich your life. She and I had countless hours of pure joy from laughing about nothing and everything. She was honest and fair and kind and lovely. I was so honored and blessed to be your friend.  I will miss you always!

The year 1977 marked a point inside the plant when cacophonous typewriters, incessant phone rings, and the whish n hum of conveyor belts composed the backdrop to our working lives. In that year, Janet Huebner and Marv Gallup were my two most supportive 1st-year mentors. I regret not having told either—a downside to youth, I suppose, though no excuse—just how grateful I always felt for their kind guidance. So now I pass to her family my condolences, and to those in Classified Advertising then, who following Janet's lead made newcomers feel welcome in her hard-won domain, my overdue thanks.

Janet hired me in the late 70's and that day changed my life forever. She taught me how to be a great manager, a friend and leader to my employees and to fight for what is right. Sometimes we disagreed, most times we were fighting on the same side. She took a chance on this fellow Italian American Brooklynite and I am forever grateful. She touched so many lives and she will never be forgotten by any of them, especially ME!

I worked with Janet when we started Mercury Center on a help wanted project. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was well respected by her clients and collegues. My deepeast sympathy to her family.

I'll never forget my interview with Janet. She made this very nervous applicant feel right at ease. She was always a fair, easy-going, fun boss. She leaves me with many great memories... She definitely was an asset to the SJ Mercury News Classified Dept.  Rita (Retired--Classified Dept. 1977-1998)

I always admired Janet for her business savvy and openness. We didn't work in the same group but I always considered Janet a teammate and peer.  
Rest in peace Janet.

If it weren't for Janet I never would have had the great opportunity to work at the Mercury News for over 25 years. She hired me...(twice) and was always there for all the staff if anyone needed help. She will always be remembered as a great manager and a dear friend. Goodbye Dear Heart

I had the privilege of working with Janet at the San Jose Mercury News from 1980 until she retired. Her sense of humor, business acumen, and incredible kindness made a lasting impression on me. After her retirement we kept in touch via email and had some very meaningful conversations  which I will always treasure. I was able to thank her for the kindness she showed me so many years ago and I let her know how much it meant to me. To Janet's family: you have my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mother. She was indeed a very special woman who touched many lives and made a difference. I will miss her.
