Janet Labarge Obituary
Born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, she was the daughter of the late Omer and Gilberte Leclair Rousseau.
Survivors include four sons, Andrew, Matthew, James, and John, their wives, and six grandchildren.
Janet was a graduate of the Nursing School of Salve Regina College of Newport, Rhode Island. She served as Head Nurse at the Clinic of DePaul Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia, eventually assuming the role of Director. She was instrumental in providing affordable healthcare to underprivileged residents of Norfolk for many years.
She was very active in the Norfolk Elks Club, and was the first woman to be elected Exalted Ruler of the Elks in Virginia, and the third in the country.
Jan's enduring quiet strength will be sorely missed, as will her passion for food, cooking, and music.

Janet was my "boss" for many years at DePaul Clinic. She was my mentor and taught me how to be a good "boss". I treasure on our years together. Liking of all the family. Patty Wilson

First, my deepest condolences.Your mother was a dear friend and an incredible mentor to me. She showed me how to be a good leader via of her incredible example. I was blessed to have her as my boss for years at DePaul Clinic. Her kindness and loving care to all was an inspiration to all who knew her. I cherish the time that I worked by her side and will never forget her. Please know that nothing was more important to her than her "boys" and their families. You all made her proud. My deepest sympathies. Patty Wilson
