JANET SMITH Memoriam


JANET ROTHWELL SMITH "JR"  
Left us suddenly on November 25, 2014. Beloved daughter of Shirley and Eleanor Smith of Rochester, NY; mother of Elizabeth, William, John and Eleanor; sister of Carol. She loved music and antiques, and she was beautiful and silly and could take anybody in a fight. Janet is interred in Madison, VA, alongside her mother, father, and grandparents. I miss you every day, Mom.

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

I can´t even express my sorrow- Janet was my roommate at UVA for 2 years. She was bright and courageous and kind. I can´t believe she is gone, and I can´t believe I didn´t know til now she left us. For her children I pray comfort- your mom was amazing, as I´m sure you know. God be with you all.
