Janet Baxa Obituary

She worked as an architectural drafter, certified nursing assistant, homemaker, and nursing home activities assistant throughout her career. Janet was a very well liked, loving and caring person who always had a smile on her face that could light up not just the room, but the world. Whether it was her friends, family, co-workers, or patients she always had time to listen and care for anyone in need. Janet had a love for life and was also an avid lover of cats. Every single person she befriended or who called her a member of the family was made better from knowing her. She is survived by her husband Ronald; sons, Brian and Greg; grandchildren, Paislee and Kaylee; her mother, Stella Johnson; brother, Larry Johnson; and sister, Barbara Steinmann. She was preceded in death by her father Robert D. Johnson. Visitation begins at 9:00 a.m. Saturday, May 16, at Cornerstone Community Church, 7620 SW 21st Street, Topeka. Funeral service will be at 10:30 a.m. Burial will follow at Mt. Calvary Cemetery, Topeka.

Janet was a wonderful woman and will be sincerely missed. She shared her love of life and cats with her granddaughter Paislee and I will forever be grateful that she could be a part of my daughters life no matter how brief their relationship was. Thinking of you all.
