Janet Tipton Obituary
Janet "Jan" Rose Tipton of Lilburn, Georgia, died August 7, 2024, after a short illness. Born on July 2, 1950, in Morganton, GA, Jan grew up in Martinez, California, and joined the US Navy after high school. After her service, she graduated from Georgia Baptist School of Nursing, and worked as an RN in the Grady Intensive Care Unit. Later she worked at Northside Hospital, serving as mentor and preceptor to newer nurses. When not working, Jan enjoyed friends, making jewelry, and her beloved rescue dogs.
Jan was predeceased by her parents, Willard Gordon Tipton of Blue Ridge and Muriel Othelda Nixon of Martinez; and several aunts and uncles. She is survived by a half-brother, George Ronald (Ronnie) Bennett; and a nephew, Rodney Daryn Bennett; great-niece, Elizabeth Bennett Wallace; and great-nephew, Ryan Shea Bennett; as well as numerous cousins. There will be a Memorial Service online (Zoom) on Sunday, September 22, at 4:30 PM. Please email [email protected] for the Zoom link, or ID and passcode.

Jan, you are missed tremendously. I will always remember the laughter we shared. Our outings with coworker. But most importantly, your loving kindness. You have touched the lives of many. RIP my friend

I'm happy to say that I got to celebrate a lot of birthdays and holidays with Jan over the years, and I got to meet pretty much all her dogs. That last surviving dog (she'll be 13 in December) is here with me right now, snoring softly. We're a couple of old ladies who lost a friend -- I'm very clear she lost more than I did -- but we have each other for comfort, and she knows she is loved. I hope Jan knew the same.

Jan and I worked together at NSH for several years. She was always kind, positive and hard working. I´m so sorry she passed before I was aware she was ill. I hope her paw babies went to a good home. Fly high my friend.

Jan and I met while we were both in the U.S. Navy stationed at Norfolk, VA. We became great friends. After I left Norfolk for San Diego we lost touch. She found me in the mid 2000's. Since then we've talked about once a year. But those phone calls lasted 3-4 hours. We'd get all caught up on each others lives. She was so funny and made me laugh. We'd always talk about our rescue dogs. How much we loved them and how they made us laugh each day. Jan, I will miss you and our long phone calls. Know that we love you. You take care and play with your puppies. I'll see you later.

I met Jan back in 1985 at the Superbowl game between the Chicago Bears and New England Patriots. A mutual friend brought her to the game at my apartment and we became great friends. Jan was someone you could call day or night and she´d be there. And being a caregiver was just in her DNA. I wish we could have spent more time together in recent years; I will miss her greatly.
