Janet Proctor Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Graham Funeral Home & Cremation Services on Dec. 13, 2022.
Janet Gorkiewicz Proctor, 61, passed away December 8, 2022. Janet was born in Hopewell, Virginia to Stephen and Agnes Gorkiewicz. She was a student of life and loved to experience new things and new adventures, meeting and befriending those she met along the way. Janet always had great compassion for animals and she donated her time and money to their protection and care. Never settling for just ok, Janet strived for excellence in every job she took on. Her interest included many hobbies and she was forever crafting new projects and trying out new recipes which she would share with her friends. Above all, Janet was a caring person and she was always there to help out those in need.
Left to cherish her memory is her loving husband of 17 years, Kenneth Proctor; brothers, Mark Gorkiewicz and Jimmy Gorkiewicz; sisters-in-law, Darlene Gorkiewicz and Teresa Hedges; nieces, Nicole Solano and April Gorkiewicz; nephew, Clint Gorkiewicz; and a host of other family members and loving friends.
A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held on Friday, December 16, 2022, at 4 p.m. at Graham Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 1112 Kempsville Road, Chesapeake with Pastor Steve Morgan officiating. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in the memory of Janet Proctor to: Norfolk Animal Care and Adoption Center.

Kenneth and family...I went to high school with Janet and was trilled to run across her on FB back in 2009 where we chatted frequently and I excitedly waited for pics and posts from your latest travels...she was the very definition of
"not all who wander are lost" and I will truly miss her posts and pics about everything from travel to traffic to cooking and her exceptional love and compassion for animals everywhere...she will be missed beyond words and I can only offer my deepest condolences and prayers for comfort as you navigate this time of terrible loss...
