Janet Parker Ailstock, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and accomplished attorney died suddenly on Saturday, July 8, 2017.
The youngest of four girls, Janet was born April 29, 1948 at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida to Dorothy Parker and Clarence William “Bill” Ailstock. She grew up as the daughter of an Air Force officer, living in California, England and Colorado, and then returned to Gainesville. She graduated from Gainesville High School in 1966. She attended the University of Florida earning her BA. She and David both attended The London School of Economics in the late 70’s. Additionally, she received her Juris Doctorate and served as Senior Tax Editor for The Law Review, University of Florida School of Law. She practiced Law in Miami and then Gainesville while David joined the Law School Faculty at the University of Florida.
Janet will be best remembered for her constant love and support for her family and friends and always encouraging them to raise the bar and attain their goals. She treasured her home, garden, traveling and her kitties. We called her “Queen”, a name she acquired in high school and in our hearts, she will reign forever. Janet was loved by many, but we knew she loved us more.
