Janet, a guest at our Village of Hope site, recently passed away at Salem Hospital. We shared part of Ms. Janet’s story earlier this year and she shared about her life at our Storytelling event just a few weeks ago.
Ms. Janet was a dear companion and advisor to many who called her a friend and was most known for her ever-present smile and calming demeanor. Originally from California, she moved to Oregon in 2000 and fell in love with the coast. Ms. Janet touched the lives of many in her community. In the wake of her passing, her life was celebrated with laughter, stories, and food. As all who loved her believed she wanted.
We are grateful that we got to know Ms. Janet. She is already missed.
