Janet Malkasian Obituary
Janet was born to the late Kenneth Levey and Margaret Levey Wensel on September 28th, 1943, in Aurora, IL. She graduated from West Chicago High School in 1961, and ultimately went on to become a licensed practical nurse. She met the love of her life, John Malkasian, they married in 1975, and eventually settled in Roselle, IL.
John and Janet had a zest for life and experienced many adventures side by side, from attending the opera in Chicago to traveling overseas. Their adventures together were cut short when John unexpectedly passed away in 1994.
Janet was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Roselle, IL and was very involved in volunteer work. She used her cooking, baking, and decorating skills to provide meals for many of her family, friends, and churchgoers. She had a great love for animals and worked tirelessly to help feral cats in her area. Her adopted cats, Jack, Georgie, Gracie, and Chin will greatly miss her.
Janet is survived by her brother James Levey, of Aurora, IL and by sister-in-law Diana Eggleston, of Clearwater, FL. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews, as well as grand-nephews, grand-nieces, and cousins.
A celebration of Janet's life will be held on Tuesday, July 28th, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Roselle, IL at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, the family would request that donations be made to any local animal shelter with a no-kill policy in Janet's name.
