Janet Altman Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Wallingford Funeral Home - Wallingford on Feb. 13, 2026.
Look out Heaven, here comes Janet from Another Planet! Janet Altman, born 80 years ago, lost her 10+ year battle with Alzheimer's disease. It was a tragic fate for someone so youthful, vital and bright, but she managed to live even her final days with a smile and sparkling blue eyes. Janet is survived by countless loved ones who celebrate her life, her love, and her light. She lived a full adventurous life and left the world a better place. One of the last things she said was "Enjoy each day".

Per Janet's wishes all funeral services will be private.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Janet's name to Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation . Arrangements have been entrusted to Wallingford Funeral Home.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Janet, our "Janet from another planet," had a laugh you could never forget and a sense of humor that lifted everyone around her. She made even the hardest days lighter. I will always carry the joy she brought into my life. Rest easy, beautiful soul.

I met Janet and her first husband Carl after my divorce. My 15-month old son Kevin was too young for nursery school so every day I would drop him off before I went to work and Janet would take care of him. Janet, Carl, Shelly and Jerry were like family and we did many things together.
Janet was beautiful...inside and out...with her blonde hair, piercing blue eyes and a wonderful laugh. We were like sisters, laughing and confiding in each other.
After Carl´s death, she met Richard and they had happy years together until his passing.
Janet never dwelt on sadness..she found the humor in everything.
The world was/is a better place with her in it and I miss her very much already.
