many of those adventures and traditions with her 7 great nieces and 3 nephews and 2 great
great nieces.
We have many memories of time spent with Janet. Watching Shirley Temple movies, wrapping
our hair in rags for curls, pulling up night crawlers at midnight under the streetlights,
neighborhood craft parties, banging pots and pans out the window New Years Eve, taking the T
to Boston, going to parades, visiting Castle Island, sleepovers, going to the park, shopping,
watching movies and there was always an endless supply of candy.
Janet had a love of the outdoors, photography, gardening, and bird watching. She was a great
seamstress and liked to gamble a little! Janet was like the energizer bunny. We all miss her.
A private celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
