Janet B. Moroney

Moroney, Janet B., of Boca Raton passed away on June 3, 2011. Janet was born January 20, 1924 in Rutherford, NJ. She was the daughter of Bernard and Mae White. Janet is survived by four children, son Jack Jr. (Phyllis), daughters, Janet Moroney, Jerilyn Ewton (Ronnie), and Jeanne Moroney Victor; five grandchildren, Kelly Pickett (Bobby), Tatum Murphy, Brandon Ewton, Michael Victor, Sean Moroney; one great grandson Daxton Pickett; and son-in-law Tom Murphy. Janet was pre-deceased by her parents, husband Jack Moroney and beloved daughter, Judy Murphy. Janet and her husband Jack moved from New Jersey to Ft. Lauderdale, FL in 1952. In 1982, Jack and Janet with son Jack Jr. started a family church goods business, Moroneys' Religious Art which is still thriving today in the Ft. Lauderdale area servicing churches throughout the U.S. Janet was a strong support in the family business and enjoyed her many roles within the company. Janet's greatest joy in life was spending time with her children and family. She was a wonderful mother and awesome Nana. She taught her family many values through her example of unending love, devotion and faith in God. In 1992, Janet was the proud recipient of the Emerald Society's Irish Mother of the Year. She wore her crystal shamrock tiara proudly while being honored at a banquet and rode atop a convertible in the big parade wearing her banner, holding her roses and proudly waving to the crowd like a true queen. In her family's eyes, that is what she was and always will be. There will be a Celebration of Life Memorial at St. Andrews South Chapel, 6065 Verde Trail South, Boca Raton on Tuesday, June 7, 2011 at 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Hospice of Palm Beach County.
