Janet Gustin Obituary
Jan was self-employed as a commercial and residential painter for over 30 years. She also generously offered her painting skills to family and friends until a bad back forced her to climb down from the ladder. As a silver-lining, that allowed her more time to tend to her beautiful flowers in the yard.
She is survived by her son Geoffrey Burkhardt; beloved grandson, Tony Burkhardt; step-children, Amy (Larry Earle) Gustin, Jeffrey (Paula) Gustin, and Christopher Gustin; as well as her brother and sister-in-law, David and Vicki Gustin.
Many kudos to Dave & Vicki, Mike & Carol, Carla & Stu, Gary, and Tina & Larry for keeping the party going after Gus' died. We'll have another gathering at Jan's house on Thursday, July 31st at 3:00 PM.
Instead of flowers, please donate to your favorite charity.
