Janet Beckelhimer, beloved daughter of the late Alice & Elmer Kleinota, and sister of the late William "Billy" Kleinota, passed away at her home on September 23, 2025.
Janet was well known for her generous nature and kind heart. She volunteered in community activities with "Operation Welcome Home" welcoming troops at the airport returning from overseas, The Special Olympics Fundraising Committee, and the Reunion Committee for Lansdowne High School Class of 1977.
Janet loved spending time with all she held dear. She enjoyed the simple joys of the beach, gardening, her beloved Baltimore Ravens, and had a special place in her heart for her cats. She was very devoted to her family. Her joyful presence will be missed always by her many cousins.
