Janet Lynn (Losson) Harvey, 84, of Floyds Knobs, Indiana, passed away on Wednesday, November 12, 2025. Born on December 23, 1940 in Scottsburg, Indiana, she was the daughter of Dennis and Iola (Marshall) Losson. Janet's life was marked by her deep faith and commitment to her community as a longtime member of Martinsburg Church of Christ.
Throughout her life, Janet cultivated many passions that brought joy not only to herself but also to those around her. She found delight in quilting and had a talent for baking bread. Janet enjoyed playing Scrabble, showcasing her sharp mind and competitive nature. Additionally, she was an avid viewer of Hallmark movies, often finding solace and joy in their heartwarming narratives, alongside her enthusiasm for sports, particularly baseball and basketball.

Her nurturing spirit and unyielding support were foundational elements in their lives, creating bonds that will be treasured for generations to come.
Along with her parents, Janet was preceded in death by her infant son, Steven Harvey; grandsons, Zachary Ferguson and Bradley Harvey; great-grandchild, Phoenix; and her brother, John Losson.
