Janet Harold Obituary
Janet Harold, 74, formerly of 809 Bluebird Lane in Wilmington, passed away on August 19 in Portland, Oregon surrounded by a loving extended family. Janet had been a resident of Wilmington for over 35 years where she resided with her husband, the late Anthony ("Tony") Harold, and her family. Tony was the prior owner of Ingram Bros., Inc. and member of the Dixieland Society of the Lower Cape Fear.
Janet was born in London, England and emigrated to Canada in the 1950s. She met Tony in Canada and the two had four children, James, Michael, Catherine and Christine, before moving to Minnesota in 1966 and later to Wilmington. Janet raised her children and maintained a beautiful home while helping Tony in several business endeavors and indulging her talent for painting and craftwork. She read extensively and enjoyed debating current events. Always supportive of her family, she was a wonderful role model and friend who was much loved. Her absence leaves a void in the lives of those who knew her.
Janet is survived by her four children and her sister, Joan Taylor of Victoria, Canada. She will be greatly missed, but never forgotten, by them and her five grandchildren, Jessica Taylor, Abbie Harold, Victoria Harold, Evan Aluyen and Erica Aluyen.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Janet's name to the American Lung Association or American Fibromyalgia Association. Letters of condolence may be sent to Christine Harold-Aluyen at P.O. Box 9000, Brownsville, TX 78520.

Grandma-
I think of you daily and wish that I could call you on the phone and tell you I love you. However since I can't I will take peace in knowing that you are no longer suffering with that wretched back pain.
Thank you to all her cared for my grandma. Thank you especially to Colleen, Dad, and Abbie who brought her into your lives and became her caregivers as well as her best friends. Ben and I will never forget your efforts at a better life for her.
You and Grandpa will live on in my heart-
Colleen Harold

To the family,
For all the times i was honored to sit in Janet's company. We would laugh like school girls usually at something her sharp wit would pick up on. She was very much my Mum also and i shall deeply and desperately miss her calls, her company and her humor. Your loving Daughter in Law Colleen Harold.

Few people know how truly inspiring our mother was. She lived most of her life in pain and remained strong, hopeful and committed to her family. She shared a special love with her husband of almost 52 years and was deeply affected by his passing.
We will all miss her more than we can say and are so extremely proud to have her as our mother.

She was a great mother, always supportive and interested in all her four children and five grandchildren were doing. We miss her greatly, but are glad for the great relationships we had with her, and that she's finally at peace.
We love you, Mom.
