Janet was born in Elizabeth, NJ to Aldo and Rita Golia in 1948. She raised her children in Rahway, NJ before moving to Florida in the late 1990s.
She will be remembered most for her kindness, friendliness, and generosity. Her door was always open to anyone in need. She loved the theater, concerts, travel, and spending time with her family. She was adored by her grandchildren, who will forever have fond memories of the time they spent together.
Janet is survived by her husband Ken; her daughters Marie and Sandy; her grandchildren Kate, Julia, Jasmine, and Brandon; and brothers, Gary and Alan and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her two brothers Richard and Henry.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Anne’s Catholic Church in West Palm Beach on Monday April 26 at 10 a.m. Interment will follow at the South Florida National Cemetery in Lake Worth at 12:30 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, Janet’s family respectfully requests donations be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Janet’s honor.
