Having worked for many years with Janet at Isley Plumbing, we shared much time together dealing with the "stuff" that happens in any work situation. And Janet was the best! She befriended many customers through her sympathetic ear and gracious words. Her enthusiasm for her work was an encouragement to all of us to step up to any task. And her joie de vivre was irrepressible. Her laughter, her joy in her family, her memories and her faith were all a reminder to us live our lives to the fullest. Thanks, Janet.

Maynard, Connie, Joe and family,
I am so saddened to hear of Janet's passing. Janet was one of the sweetest people I have ever met, and her laugh was contagious. I was so very touched to see her recently at my father's funeral and calling, it meant so very much to my mother as they have been friends since the age of 5. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers through the upcoming months. I know that my dad welcomed her to heaven with a hearty greeting and it comforts me to know that they both have a dear friend at their side.
My sincerest condolences,
Gail

Janet and Maynard were the most kind, helpful, and friendly neighbors. I always poked fun at her distaste of birds. My dog Roxy and I spent many happy times on their back patio. I know what an important role she played in your family and how much she will be missed. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.

Sending love and comfort to Maynard, Joe and Connie from my mother, Phyliss and me. They had such happy times together as children and "Aunt" Janet gave me wonderful, fun memories too. Our ModPodge marathon was a terrific day! She had the best laugh in the world that will always remain in our hearts. God bless you all. Much love, Jane and Phyliss

I remember Janet from Nora and Broad Ripple as well as Union Chapel. We go a long way back. Always enjoyed being with her. Great to know I will see her again in a far greater place. Prayers for the family as I know how much she will be missed.
