Janet Sylvia MacDonald

Today a friend sent me a copy of Jan's obituary. Please accept my sincere sympathy and regards for you and the family's loss.  I have so many wonderful, warm memories of our times at UNR and later my visit to you both in the Carson Vally.  I am filled with sorrow that I let our close friendship slip away over the years. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

If there was ever a sparkling example of a truly beneficial, honest and dedicated public servant, it was Janet MacDonald. I'll print a personal remembrance in the Jan. 29 Sparks Tribune, permanently archived at the NevadaLabor website.

May beautiful Janet rest in peace. Work well done. Life well lived.

What a free spirit and a delightful woman with a big, wonderful smile. Jan had a lot of energy and planned great parties..always having something special for her guests. All ways most gracious and kind. May the angels guide her into paradise.

Jan was a woman who believed in the power of women and was a great inspiration to me. She was a dear friend and will be so missed. My deepest sympathy to Ron, Frank and her extended family.

Jan was a wonderful generous mentor. Always encouraging and supportive. She believed in me, a young new graduate. Ron, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
