Obituary published on Legacy.com by Jennings Farley & Seeley Funeral Home and Crematory on Jan. 7, 2025.
Janet L. Inskeep, a cherished member of her community and family, passed away peacefully on January 7, 2025, at her home in Bellefontaine, Ohio, just shy of what would have been her 89th
birthday. Born on January 21, 1936, in the small town of Mingo, Ohio, Janet lived a life marked by love, dedication, and a deep sense of compassion.
For many years Janet worked at the
Lutheran Thrift Store and Botkins Egg Farm.
She was the beloved wife of James L. Inskeep, with whom she shared a joyful marriage that
began on August 25, 1951. Together, they crafted a life full of rich experiences and loving memories, with family at its heart. Janet's marriage to James was one of her life's greatest achievements, offering those around her a shining example of devotion and partnership until James's passing.
Known for her remarkable capacity for compassion and her mischievous sense of humor, Janet had a gift for bringing light into the lives of those around her. Whether it was through a heartfelt
conversation or a shared laugh, she had a unique ability to make others feel cherished and understood.
Janet was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. Debbra Yoder, her daughter, survives her
and carries forward her mother's legacy of love and laughter. She is also survived by her daughter-in-law Dianna (Reames) Inskeep; 7grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, and 8 great great grandchildren who were her pride and joy.
Janet faced the profound loss of many loved ones, including her parents, Mildred Vaughn Larry(Johnson) and Alfred Lee Larry, her husband James, her sister Mabel Wayman, her brothers Grant Sherman Larry and Charles Larry, as well as her children Pamela K. Inskeep, Lowell
Inskeep, and James E. Inskeep; grandchildren Eddie Inskeep and Jeremy Inskeep.
Despite these losses, she demonstrated resilience and grace, remaining a beacon of strength for her family.
Those who had the privilege of knowing Janet will remember her not only for her kindness and
humor but also for her love of family, which transcended all else. Her memory will live on in the
hearts of those she touched, a testament to a life well-lived. As we remember Janet, we celebrate
her remarkable journey-a life characterized by generosity, love, and laughter. She will be dearly
missed, but her spirit will forever illuminate the paths of her loved ones.
