Janet Elizabeth Crater Dundore, 86, of Hummelstown, entered eternal rest on Wednesday, November 23, 2022, in the M.S. Hershey Medical Center with her family by her side.
Born in Middletown on January 8, 1936, she was one of eleven children to the late Leonard Elwood and Annie M. Forney Crater.
Janet retired after 17 years from the Hershey Medical Center where she worked in the laundry.

Janet was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church, its choir and Challenger Sunday School Class. She was a former Brownie Troop Leader. Janet enjoyed crocheting and recycling. Most of all, Janet loved spending time with family and friends. She always greeted visitors with "Welcome to the house of hats, hearts and butterflies"; and would send them on their way by saying "Happy Trails".
