Not sure what to say?

Janet was the queen of sarcasm. She loved saying something for the "shock" value then burst out laughing at the reaction. She gave as good as she got. We shared many laughs together. Our birthdays were only 3 days apart but years in between.
I will always remember her and miss her. She was one of my very favorite people. ❤❤

I met Janet when my family moved to Naugatuck when I was in second grade. My mom and Janet's mom became best friends and Janet and I became best friends. We did everything together. We walked to school together, played together, took acrobatic classes together, performed in acrobatic shows together (our moms made us matching costumes). I have so many wonderful memories of my childhood spent with Janet. She was a wonderful friend.
We gradually drifted apart during high school but remained...

Janet was an inspiration to many. Her wry sense of humor coupled with her devotion to her family was unmatched. She was a dear friend wnd will be missed. Hopefully a cure for Parkinsons will be found as it affects too many families. With Love to Gary Kevin Chad and kids families. The Joneses from Hummelstown Mary Barry Gregory Jennifer and Solomon

Janet was a fun lady whom I met through her sister Leslie. I pray for God’s peace be with her family.

This unique lady and I only met personally a few times but became fast friends. She was a joy and delight to know. Her positivity and life outlook was amazing. Her energy and love of life were contagious. She loved her family beyond measure. Janet I know you are a blessed addition to heaven's family. With love. Cheryl Lentz

I only knew Janet for the last 4 years of her life, but I’m so very glad I did.

I first met her when I came to view my future home, right next door to where she and Gary lived. I’ve always understood the importance of good neighbors, and almost as much as the house itself Janet convinced me that this is where I wanted to call home.

In the summer, she and I would sit outside sipping our drinks and watching the dogs play, putting the world to rights from the comfort of her...

Janet may you rest in peace and comfort.
So many memories of Brookfield, kids growing up together and a beautiful person always with a smile on your face.
Thank you for being our friend.

Thank you Janet for knocking on my door in 1975. You changed my life and encouraged me to join the Newcomers Club with you.. The start of a friendship that lasted 51 yrs. You left a big mark. You will not be forgotten.
