Janet Lou Meyer, 96, of Carmel, Indiana passed away December 24, 2024. She was born in Indianapolis, Indiana to Benjamin L. White and Lenore (Matthews) White. The most important thing to Janet was her family. She adored her husband Robert, her four children: Robert Jr., Barbara, Jay, and Brian.

She was a boater, golfer, gardener, and was a very integral part of the Arsenal Technical High School Museum, there she volunteered. She was the queen of Wolf Lake in Baldwin, Michigan during summer vacations, where many memories were made through the years with family and friends.
Janet was preceded in death by her parents, Benjamin and Lenore White, husband of 53 years, Robert E. Mayer, and brother, James L. White.
