Cherished grandmother to Michael, Kate, Ellie and Ava. Dear sister to Ross and Patricia. Predeceased by her parents Miriam (née Paynter) and Ross Stuart, her sister Betsy and grand-dog Oliver.

Janet was an avid world traveler, cottager, Special Education teacher, an excellent wife and mother. She loved books, crossword puzzles and bridge, but mostly friendships and life.

Janet was a wonderful teacher and colleague. She brightened the halls with her smile, and made school life fun for staff and students. In social gatherings, she always made us laugh! She is remembered with great fondness. Condolences to Peter and family

I am terribly saddened to learn of my cousin Janet's passing. I have known her all my life and she has always been one of my favourite people. I will never forget her.
