Janet Comer Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 31, 2025.
Janet Mary Comer, a devoted mental health therapist and beloved mother and grandmother, passed away on May 28, 2025, in Tucson, Arizona. She was 80 years old.

She was born on December 29, 1944, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her passion for helping families and children led her to pursue higher education at the University of Arizona, where she earned a Master of Arts in Child and Family Development.

She is lovingly remembered by her children, Leah Riedl (Comer) and Brandon Comer; and by her grandchildren: Brenna Devitt (Comer), Ashlee Tallarico, Ada Comer, Hailey Tallarico, and Grant Comer. Her legacy lives on through them and through the many lives she touched throughout her career.

May her memory bring comfort to those who knew her.
