Janet Louise Selley, 81 departed from this world on January 3, 2026, at her Center Township residence to be with her Lord and Savior. Born to the late John H. Jr. and Olga Owen, Janet's life was a testament to love and devotion.
Janet was a proud graduate of Hopewell Memorial High School and later of Geneva College, where she earned an Associate degree that would pave the way for her meaningful career. Janet's professional life was marked by her tenure as a dedicated medical transcriptionist, first at the former Aliquippa Hospital and later at Heritage Valley Sewickley, from which she retired in 2012.
Janet married the love of her life, Michael L. Selley, on June 18, 1966, and together they built a family grounded in love and mutual respect. Although Michael preceded her in death on January 26, 2024, their bond remains a lasting legacy. Janet is lovingly remembered by her two sons, Christopher Selley (Katie Weigle) of South Beaver Township and Joshua D. Selley of Center Township, who continue to carry forward the values she instilled in them. She is also survived by a granddaughter, Lily Ann Weigle
Janet's family circle extends to her caring brother, Morey (Pat) Owen of Tacoma, Washington, and her sister, Patricia Schurman of Winston Salem, North Carolina. She also leaves behind a host of nieces and nephews,
From her early days as a member of the Rainbow Girls to her involvement with Victory Family Church in Cranberry Township, Janet's Christian faith was the cornerstone of her existence.
An avid reader, Janet found solace and joy in the pages of a good book.
