Janet Secor Obituary
Janet graduated from Bogota High School in 1952. She worked at the Hawthorne Bible House and went on to become the accompanist for the Hackensack Public Schools for 31 years. She began playing the piano at an early age. Janet was blessed to do what she loved best and touched so many lives with her warmth and kindness. She was fondly known as "Sister Secor" and "Grandma" to many soloists and people she played for during her time in Hackensack. She sang with the Ridgewood Singers and Voices of Praise. Janet was an active member of Grace Bible Church in North Haledon where she also played the piano and sang in the choir for many years.
She loved to see the world and enjoyed traveling with her friends, children, and grandchildren. She had a deep love for people and serving the Lord and she always made everyone feel special with her warm and loving spirit.
A memorial service will be held in the future.

Janet Secor was a truly wonderful person. I remember her playing the piano for school events with such dedication! The children loved her.
My favorite memory with Janet was a lunch we had together. She spoke with such love about her children and family members. She also spoke about her deep faith and love for God. Janet reminisced about her time at Hawthorne Gospel Book Store. I realized that day that I had met Janet years before I worked with her professionally, while shopping at the store! I could see her light shining from the beginning.
Janet Secor was a treasure to all who knew her. By God's grace, am looking forward to worshipping musically with her one day; in heaven.

Janet was indeed a beautiful person. She loved God and others! She was a gifted accompanist. I was priviledged to have her accompany for the JAS Children's Chorus, through the years. I am sure that when Janet got to heaven, she heard "Well done my good and faithful servant" from her Lord!
