Janet Farson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Musgrove Family Mortuary & West Lawn Memorial Park on Dec. 19, 2025.
Janet Rae Farson, age 90, passed away peacefully on November 21, 2025, surrounded by her family. She was born on May 31, 1935, in Coshocton, Ohio, to Elvin and Mildred Brillhart. Janet spent her life devoted to family, work, and the simple joys that brought her comfort and happiness. She lived in Eugene, Oregon, for 45 years and truly made it her home.

Janet was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Eugene Noble Farson, and her sons, Jerry and Roger. She is lovingly survived by her daughter, Bev Sams; her grandchildren, Christina & Evia Gaitan and Jennifer & Don Shipp; and eight great-grandchildren, all of whom were a source of great pride and joy to her.

Janet retired from Kmart, where she worked for many years and formed lasting friendships. In her quieter moments, she found great pleasure in working jigsaw puzzles, a pastime she truly loved and enjoyed well into her later years.

Janet will be remembered for her warm heart, gentle spirit, and unwavering love for her family. Her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
