Janet Lee Compton, age 62, of Gulfport, passed away on December 12, 2023.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Jim and Ruby Cade; a daughter, Gerri Lee; her sister, Barbara Brechtel; and a great-grandchild, Baby Trehern.
She is survived by her husband of 27 years, Darrell Compton; her children, Charlie Cade (Terri), Robert Brechtel, Chasity Roush, and Janessa Green; her siblings, Robert Cade (Missy), Jerry Cade (Millie), Lori Foster, and Danny Cade; her grandchildren, Danie-Rae Trehan (Cory), Kristen Smith (McKenzie), Kayla Cade (Bri), Madison Raymond (Matt), Brandon House, Erin Brechtel, Gerri L. Brechtel, Ruby Brechtel, Chloe Brechtel, Kelsey Brechtel, Jenna Roush, Jordan Rayan, Kevin Triston Roush, Alexander Green and Anthony Lawson; her great-grandchild, Thea Rose Raymond; and several nieces and nephews that she loved very much.
Janet worked at Little People’s Christian Academy; she was recognized as “grandmother of the year”. She enjoyed watching softball and football, grandmothering, coin collecting, bear and angel collecting, Facebook games and shopping at Goodwill and Dollar Tree, she was the keeper of secrets.
“It is what is it” was her favorite saying. Janet was the strongest woman and fought so hard every day for those she loved, she fought for those she didn’t love. She can now rest easy with her sweet Gerri Lee and baby Trehern, and they can watch over her soon to be born Thea Rose. She will forever hold a place in our hearts, truly, madly, deeply.
