Janetta Renee Briley

Jan was born October 1, 1962 the youngest of nine children to Glenwood Briley Sr. and Edna (Vaugh) Briley in East St. Louis, IL. A former resident of Collinsville, IL. Jan recently moved to Arnold, MO.

Jan was a strong, passionate woman, and was never afraid to tackle any project; she never knew the word, “can’t.” Her beautiful blue eyes and her smile were her most expressive features; revealing the thoughts and feelings of her heart. Jan was very proud of her roots and her greatest love was her family. She also loved nature and the outdoors, and enjoyed hiking and fishing.

Jan was a 1980 graduate of Belleville Township High School West, Belleville, IL. and went on to get her Associate’s Degree in Accounting. She has been an employee of Kohner Properties, St. Louis, MO., for 27 years, currently as a Property Manager of Vineyard Apartments.

Jan was preceded in death by her beloved parents, and her precious fur babies.

She was dearly loved and will be dearly missed by her surviving brothers and sisters, Barbara (Rusty) Phipps, Kenneth (Sylvia) Briley, Glen (Sis) Briley Jr., Michael Briley, Samuel Briley, Rick Briley, Jeanie (Jim) Schroeder & Jane (Bill) Cross; nephews and nieces, Ron (Michaelle) Steed, Wesley Steed, Angel Helmkamp, Perry (Scott) Tripp, Carolyn (Jamey) Crossland, Marilyn Briley, Kenneth (Mirah) Briley Jr., Sherry (Ronnie) Gravot, John (Jen) Briley, Samuel Briley Jr., Dawn (Tammy) Briley, Vicki (Marty) Lanasky, David Briley, Jimmy (Crystal) Schroeder, Jamie (Pat) Haley, Rebeca (Ryan) Burkard, & Amanda Cross; great-nephews and nieces; special friend Denise Ewin, and many other relatives and friends.

Rest in peace, Janetta. You will have no more sorrow to bear.
