Janet HAFNER Obituary

Janet was an artist, creating beauty in her sewing, painting, and life. She will be remembered for her generosity, kindness, sense of humor, and outspokenness. Janet was a wife, mother, grandmother, and friend.

Janet loved a good burger and chocolate chip mint ice cream, a good book, a good joke, good friends, and time with her family. She was always willing to help someone else. Janet was a treasure and will be missed by many.

Married for 69 years to Chuck Hafner who passed on July 18, 2021, Janet leaves behind her daughters Suzanne (Steve) and Julie, grandchildren Matthew, Karynn, Jason, and Kori, and one great-grandchild.

Honoring Janet's wishes, there will be no formal gathering. Please honor her legacy of love by eating a sloppy burger and ice cream right out of the container, reading a good book, sharing a belly laugh with friends and family, and reaching out to help others.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating in her memory to Hospice of Spokane, Transitions, Hope House, or an organization that assists people in need.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
