Janet Bartholomew Obituary

Janet Marie Weiss Bartholomew, 84, formerly of Pottsville, passed away Tuesday, June 21, at her home in Wellington Court at Hershey Mills, West Chester.

Born May 13, 1938, in Pottsville, she was a daughter of the late Raymond Weiss and Rita McMullen Weiss Keating. Janet was an only child and is the last of her immediate family.

She was a 1956 graduate of the first graduating class of Nativity BVM High School and served as a secretary at WPPA Radio Station in Pottsville and later as secretary to the president of Immaculata College in West Chester.

Janet attended Saints Simon & Jude Catholic Church, West Chester.

She and her husband spent much of their lives in West Chester and thought of Pottsville as their home, frequently visiting with and attending her husband's large family events.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, James J. Bartholomew, to whom she was married 48 years; a stepfather, numerous sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law.

Janet is survived by sisters-in-law, Frances C. Lorenz and Rita Foley, both of Pottsville; and three generations of nieces and nephews. She was aided in her final days by her niece, Hedy Bartholomew Stump, of Lebanon.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, June 28, at Lord-Bixler Funeral Home Inc., 1818 Mahantongo St., Pottsville, with Deacon Jack Quirk officiating. A viewing of family and friends will be held at 10 a.m. until time of service in the funeral home. Interment will follow in St. John's No. 2 Cemetery, 2011 Mahantongo St., Pottsville.

Sorry to hear that Janet passed away. I have fond memories of Janet and Jim coming to the Penn State reunions in and around the West Chester Pa area. We held these reunions at various members residences. May she rest in peace!
