Janet Garrett Obituary
Janet was born Jan. 30, 1944, in Sharon, Pa., and was a daughter of the late Weldon Sewell Garrett and Frances Bell Garrett.
She graduated from Wilmington High School in 1962 and Slippery Rock University.
She was a member of Neshannock Presbyterian Church of New Wilmington and taught in the Butler School District for many years.
Janet lived life to the fullest and embraced the philosophy that every meal should start with dessert. She told her family to be sure that her obituary stated that she hated to dust and vacuum, but she loved making fudge and mowing the grass.
Survivors include her two older sisters, Marian Garrett Nelson (G. James) of Grove City, and Margaret Garrett Lutz (Larry) of Volant; her longtime best friend, Ron Mustello and the Mustello family; and her nieces, nephews and their children, who all treasured her.
She was preceded in death by two brothers, Robert William Garrett and Lyle Bell Garrett.
