Janet Marie Hess

On Wednesday, 1/4/23, Janet Hess, beloved mother, grandmother, and artist, passed away at the age of 74. She was preceded in death by her father, Raymond, her mother, Inez and her brother, Anthony.

Janet always had a love for art. In her early 30s, she went to SFCC for graphic design, making a successful career out of her passion. She worked in graphic design in the Spokane area for many years, while also creating art in her free time.
