Janet Berry Obituary
She was the beloved wife of the late Ronald Berry; the two married December 24th, 1986 in Pinckney, MI.
Jan's unconditional love was a steady presence in the lives of her family and friends-a trait that defined her and drew others. Known for her quick wit, Jan could find fun in any situation. She enjoyed a life of adventure and filled the room with her captivating stories. After 20 years of working at University of Michigan's North Hall as a secretary for the ROTC program, she chose to spend her golden years doing what she loved most; such as reading, cooking, traveling, enjoying wine with friends, and was often found playing euchre at the Hartland Senior Center.
Jan is survived by her devoted daughter, Sharon (Garry) Barker; son-in-law, Tom Flanders; grandchildren, Kenny (Coleen) Kozdron, Jacob (Jessica) Kozdron, Joshua (Hayden) Barker; great grandchildren, Mercedes, Summer, Quinn, Natalie, and Cali. Preceded in death by her parents; husband, Ronald Berry; and beloved daughter, Sandy Flanders.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made at the Howell Humane Society and the Hartland Senior Center in Janet's honor.
