Janet L. Gaynor, 63, passed away Friday, May 30, 2025, in Cape Coral, Florida. Janet was born July 30, 1961, in Medina, Ohio to the late Harold Holly and Nancy (nee Hendrickson) Holly.
Janet was a valued employee of Genesis Care/21st Century Oncology for 9 years in Fort Myers, Florida. Prior to moving to Florida Janet was a long-time valued employee of Drug Mart in Medina. She was an avid football fan of the Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Indians and former member of the Moose and Eagle Lodges in Medina. Janet also loved talking politics, playing with her dogs, drinking her gourmet coffees daily and catching up with family. Beloved daughter of Nancy (nee Hendrickson) Sammons, loving sister of Cathleen (nee Holly) Juris and Peggy (nee Holly) Siebert; dear sister-in-law to Bill and Paula Gaynor, Bonnie Gaynor, Penny and Lisa Gaynor. Survived also by many cousins of the Hendrickson, Holly and Gaynor families and by many adored nieces and nephews.
Although we're deeply saddened and heartbroken over Janet's sudden unexpected passing, our family finds peace and comfort in knowing Janet's eternally reunited with her beloved late husband, Stephan D. Gaynor, who passed away in 2011, and was the love of her life. Anyone knowing these two knew they were inseparable and "two peas in a pod". A true match made in heaven, now together again, eternally united in heavenly happiness. The family will receive visitors at the Eagles Lodge 696 Lafayette Rd., Medina, OH 44256 on Friday, June 13, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a Celebration of Life. All are welcome. Light refreshments. Online condolences may be made at www.waitefuneralhome.com.

Dearest cousin Janet, you were a bright light in our family, you will be missed. I remember all the fun we had growing up in Medina OH!! Playing tag running through the corn fields and dancing in the basement to our 45´s records. So sorry we didn´t get to visit so much in our adult lives in Florida but I´ll always remember your beautiful smile. See you on the other side.
