Janet Cecil Obituary

Janet LeVeque Cecil COLUMBIA - Janet LeVeque Cecil passed away peaceably at Palmetto Health Center surrounded by loved ones, on April 20, 2013 after a long illness. A memorial service will be held at St. Peters Catholic Church on Assembly Street at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 23, 2013. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the charity of one's choice. Janet was a member of St. Peters Catholic Church. She worked as a freelance court reporter for many years and was a devoted friend and mentor. She will be remembered for her kindness, her loyalty to her friends, her devotion to all her loved ones, and finally for her courage and strength in her long battle with cancer. Born in Anoka, Minn. on April 30, 1953, Janet was the daughter of the late George and Marjorie LeVeque. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Chuck Cecil; children, Gina Leveque and Ryan Shah; grandson, Angelo Caporoso; sisters, Carole LeVeque and Barbara Pedersen, along with her husband, Brian; brother, John LeVeque; godson Zachary Howard, and a host of other family members and loving friends. Her devoted and constant animal companions, Ricky, Butters, Buddy and Hans, remained at her side during her illness - even visiting her in the hospital during her final days. They brought her great joy and comfort. Please sign the online guestbook at www.dunbarfunerals.com.

Dear Grandma,

You were with me on the day I was born which was such a precious gift for my Mommy. You were such a great Grandma and so much fun. I loved watching Sesame Street with you and playing with your pets. I know you will continue to watch over me and protect me. My Mommy and I love you very much. I am so happy you are my Grandma.

Love, Angelo Pio

Janet was one of the good ones. A true friend and confidante, I knew I could always talk to her about anything. The courage she exhibited and the fight she led was extraordinary. Her kind-hearted soul and caring nature will be missed.

Janet was such a wonderful woman. I worked with her when I worked at a local law firm and I did some proofreading for her. I loved her! She was one-of-a-kind and she will be missed. Take comfort in knowing she suffers no more! Hugs to you all!

Most of us have friends. Some of us have friends of the heart. And then some of us have spiritual friends who help us grow closer to God. These friends are extremely rare. Janet was my spiritual friend and through her friendship I became a better Christian and a Catholic. Now that you are home with the Lord, Janet, please put in a good word for us. Beth

Beautiful sister,
We are all of us flowers planted on this earth, to be picked by God in his own time. Love you and finally peace is yours.

I knew Janet professionally. When she was healthy, I never used anyone else doe my depositions, and the reason was her wonderful,warm personality. She was always a delight to deal with. May God bless her and her family.
