Janet Lynn Rosenberg

She was born May 6, 1955 in Peoria to Leonard and Ann (Herman) Rosenberg and they preceded her in death.

Surviving are her children, Robyn (Amber) Hewitt of Jacksonville, FL and Sandra (Chris) Huffine of Nashville, TN; grandchildren, Caitlyn Carriere, Jessica Bailey Goldberg, Nikolas Hewitt, Mason Hewitt and Coriander Hewitt; and brothers, Steven Rosenberg of Raleigh, NC, Richard (Jamee) Rosenberg of Palatine, IL, Michael (Lisa) Rosenberg of Brampton, Ontario and Mark Rosenberg (Diann Buckingham) of Peoria.

She was a member of Congregation Anshai Emeth in Peoria.

Janet was one of those rare people who made the world better. In her job at Legal Aid in Nashville, Janet was nominated for awards for her work. Everywhere Janet went, she always made many friends. No matter your station in life, race, religion or politics, Janet always made you feel special and valued. She helped people with problems of addictions, homelessness and abuse off the streets and found them housing. She fought for the margins of society. Janet literally was 'tikun olam', healing of the world.
