Janet Dal Porto Berumen

A strong and compassionate woman with many talents, Janet enjoyed helping and giving to others and found much joy in cooking and baking for everyone.

Janet was a local resident since the age of eight; Brentwood was considered home the majority of her life. She assisted countless individuals prior to retiring from the State of California EDD. A graduate of Liberty Union High School, she later became one of the first women to serve on its Board of Directors, and even taught an Adult Ed Italian cooking class. In 1975, she was named Parent of the Year by the Brentwood Union Elementary School District, and in 1988 received the Woman of Distinction award from the Soroptomist Club. She always strived to make a positive impact.

Moreover, she was a dedicated wife and mother. She shared an admirable love and close bond with her devoted husband of 55 years, Toribio (Toby) Berumen. With her jovial spirit, she will be fondly missed by many. She leaves behind her husband, daughter, sons, grandchildren, and several family members. May she rest in peace with her parents, sister, and many family and friends.

A rosary will be held at the Brentwood Funeral Home at 6pm, Dec. 13 with a viewing at 5pm. A funeral mass will be at 10am, Dec. 14 at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church; reception to immediately follow at 2604 Verne Roberts Circle, Antioch.

In lieu of flowers, consider a charitable donation in her honor to help others, such as: Alzheimer's Assoc, Meals on Wheels, or a local Food Bank.
