Janet Broadbent Obituary

Janet grew up on the family farm and attended and graduated from Holland Patent High School with the class of 1969. After graduation, she worked on the family farm, had her own dog sitting service, and a cleaning business.
Janet enjoyed reading, gardening, fishing, walking her dogs, family get-togethers, craft shows, dog sitting, and selling eggs. Above all, she loved her family and was happiest fishing at the pond with her devoted dogs by her side.
Janet was a Steuben Town Council Member for six years.
