Publish in a newspaper
Born on October 13, 1959, in Bangor, Maine, Janet was the daughter of the late Philip Hanson and Margaret Louise Wasson King. A graduate of Brewer High School, Class of 1978, she went on to build a successful career as a supervisor in the auto parts manufacturing industry, working with companies across the United States.
Janet found joy in the simple pleasures of country life-fishing, watching deer from her back porch, and soaking in the quiet beauty of nature.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, John Allen Smith; significant other, Rick Tucker; and brother-in-law, Pete Phelon.
Janet is survived by her sons: Bryan (Julia) Smith of Wartrace, TN and Adam (Keisha) Smith of Shelbyville, TN; grandchildren: David (Rosario), Miranda, Caleb, Pierce, and Stori and great-grandson: Lucas. She is also survived by her siblings, Philip King Jr. of Tullahoma and Patricia Phelan of Wartrace, nieces and nephews; Amy (William) Cookson of Wartrace, TN, Rebecca (Stacy) Phelan, of Winchester, TN, Luther (Denise) Phelan, of Maine; as well as additional nieces, nephews, extended family members, and cherished bonus children, Augustin (Noemi) Reyes and Paulino (Araceli) Reyes.
Janet chose cremation with no public services.
