Janet L. Garvin

I have wonderful memories of the times I spent with Charles and Janet; even babysat a few times when I was a student at UM. She was a dear person; good, kind and wise.

I have such great memories of the early 1990s when I got to know Janet. Charles and I were working on some research and she cooked a wonderful meal for Ernie and me. She was such a lovely person.

Dear Charles, so sad to hear of Janet’s passing. She was a lovely person. Please take good care of yourself, I hope to see you soon.

Charles, I am so sorry to hear of Janet's death. I am thinking of you and all of your family. I love this tribute to her and to read of the wonderful life you shared and the work she did. Sending love to you and your family.

So many wonderful memories. She left the world as a better place.

Janet and Charles were friends of my family for a 'long long time'. Often our family would join the Garvin's at Passover and celebrate with a variety of non traditional Haggadahs, rituals, poetry and delicious foods.

My favorite memory of Janet was the year she decided she wanted to join me and Charles in walking the Mackinaw Bridge on Labor Day in her new power wheelchair. The crowd was encouraging and helpful as we navigated the long bridge. Two hours later we rolled down Main...

Janet was one of the sweetest people I've met. I did her hair at glacier hills in 2020. May she rest in peace.

Janet was a wonderful woman with a great sense of humor and a commitment to our profession of social work. She definitely “lived her dash” and I am grateful to have known and interacted with she and Charles for these many years. May she Rest In Peace.

Janet was a dear friend of my parents, Sylvia and Leonard Segel. I remember her as a kind, caring and perceptive women who loved people, smiled brightly even after her debilitating stroke. My her memory be a blessing for all who knew her. My heartfelt condolences to Charles, David, Amy, Tony and family!
