Janet Chacon Obituary


CHACON, Janet (Nyquist)
Jan. 23, 1959 - Apr. 19, 2009
Passed away in her Sacramento home after a courageous battle with cancer. Preceded in death by father Clyde Nyquist. Will be loved and missed by Arthur Chacon, mother Katherine Owen, siblings Connie and Mark, daughter Frances, granddaughters Anessa, Lyset, and Yesenia, and numerous extended family. She attended McClatchy and Kenneth's College of Cosmetology. Janet retired after 15 years as a hairstylist in Greenhaven. She joined CDSS and worked ten years in the Director's office. Janet was a dedicated employee and truly loved her job and ''family'' at social services. She was an avid gardener and loved do-it-yourself home projects. More than anything, she treasured her moments with her girls. Friends and Family are invited to attend Mass on April 23 at 11:30 a.m. at Saint Rose's Church. A celebration of life will immediately follow at Msgr. Kavanagh Community Center.

Just wanted to say how sadden I am to hear about Janet's passing, I was her classmate all the way from the CP Huntington Days through CKM, grew up in the neighborhood also. I remember her as quiet, smart and kind. My mother knew both her parents and we would stop by to say hello every once in awhile too. My deepest sympathies go out to her family and her girls. Us old time friends and aquaintances are all keeping you and your family in our prayers and are deeply sadden by your loss.

I am so shocked and disheartened to learn of Janets' passing. I grew up in the Mangan Park neighborhood along with my sisters. We have know the Nyquist's, Janet and her sibs for many years. We were also roommates for a brief time in the 80's. I think of her as a "gentle giant". She was always kind to everyone, gorgeous and just seemed to have a peacefulness about her. Glad to know that she & Tuti married and had a family. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
Cheri Teixeira and the entire Teixeira family.

I will never forget Janet. I worked and learned a lot from her during my seven years at Social Services. My memory of her will be of the time the two of us spent in Las Vegas and the one show I talked her into attending. We had fun. Even though I have not had recent contact with her, I will miss her dearly.

I met Janet when I first came to work at CDSS in 2001. Through a close working relationship, a very close personal friendship grew. I feel honored and blessed that Janet counted me among her friends. My heart will remember each lunch, dinner, and special event shared over the years. I am deeply sorry for your loss - Janet will be missed by many. God bless you all each and every day...
