She also leaves behind many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews; her sister Joann Richey, her sister-in-law, Rosemary Horning; a family friend, Jean Berry, and her family in Pensacola. Janet dearly enjoyed her circle of friends in Cleveland.

She was an avid reader and loved to talk politics. She worked the polls in Cleveland. In previous years Janet and Charles traveled extensively around the Great Lakes in their boat and later enjoyed RVing throughout the States. Her favorite pastimes were gardening and bird-watching, watching a good western, keeping up with college football, and knitting. She loved cooking, entertaining and trying out new restaurants. And she loved her cats, especially “Muffin.” Janet was a strong-willed woman whose favorite saying was, “I’m a realist.” She loved to dress up – and was a person who stood out in a crowd. She will be greatly missed.

A memorial and visitation will be held from 3-5pm on January 6 at Trahan Funeral Home in Pensacola, FL.
