West Hartford, CT - Janet Waldo passed away on November 7, 2025 at the age of 93. She was born in Lebanon, NH to Albert and Maryanne Tremblay June 7, 1932. Janet grew up with 3 brothers and 2 sisters. She attended a one room school during her elementary years in East Plainfield and graduated from Lebanon High School.

In 1988 the Waldo's retired from the Claremont School District, Janet the revered 4th grade teacher and Dick the Superintendent of Schools

In 1992 Janet and Dick purchased a winter home in the Villages at Country Creek in Estero, Florida. Janet took up golf at age 62 and played until 85. She did not take practice swings and enjoyed five holes in one! Four more than her husband!

In 2005, after spending the summer in New Hampshire, Dick passed away the first day they returned to Florida while scrubbing their lanai. Janet was crushed but did say, at least I will no longer have to watch all those football games!

At age 75, after a fun round of golf with her son, Janet said I want two things. One more hole in one for an even six and I also do not want to live past 85 as that is when problems start!

At age 86 Janet left her beloved Country Creek, where she lived for 27 years, and moved to an assisted living facility in Connecticut due to dementia. At 92 a move to a nursing home took place.

Janet is survived by: son Rick and his wife Elaine (CT&FL); granddaughter Kristen Waldo Skulte and her husband Andris (CT); great grandson Eli Skulte (CT); sister Claire Pelletier and husband Leon (NH). She is also survived by her nieces and nephews who adored their Aunt Janet.

Janet will be cremated and buried next to her husband at the Veteran's Cemetery in Boscawen, NH. Her husband was a highly decorated soldier who received the purple heart in Korea.
