Janet ARMSTRONG Obituary

JANET MARGARET ARMSTRONG (nee Williams) 1936 - 2022 Painlessly and comfortably, in her 86th year at Georgetown, Ontario, on March 2, 2022. Janet leaves behind her son Don Armstrong (Sue), her daughter Susan (Archer), her beloved grandchildren Lindsay Armstrong, Jamie Archer, and Alexandra Archer, her sister Elizabeth Wilson (Bill), and her nephew Scott MacAndrew. Janet was the loving daughter of the late Edwin and Kitty Williams (Baker). Janet began her successful career with Air Canada in 1957 as a part time ticket agent, and rose to become one of the company's first female executives as its Reservations Manager and Corporate Sales Manager, while simultaneously completing a BCom at University of Toronto. Janet traveled to almost every corner of the world with her children in tow, but always had a love for Barbados, where "Hurricane Janet" as she was known for her laugh, also leaves behind many great friends. In 1990 Janet followed in her father's footsteps and embarked upon what would become a 30 year second career in Real Estate, during which time she also represented Auto Europe as a sales agent. Sincere thanks to the residents of Brynhurst Court, who were like family to Janet for over 30 years, to her colleague Heather Fuller, and to the staff at GBGH and Amica. A celebration of life will be held at a later date when conditions are more favourable. The family asks for friends to consider donating in Janet's memory to the Red Cross Humanitarian Fund for Ukraine.

I am so very sorry to hear of Janet's passing. My mom, Barbara Fowlie, spoke so often of Janet and the times they spent together - they were cousins of course but friends foremost. Sending you all much love and our deepest sympathy for your loss.
