Janet M. Watkins, 82, of Massena, NY, peacefully passed away on Saturday, January 20, 2018 at her home.
Janet was born on April 29, 1935 in Parishville, daughter of the late Floyd and Helen Moses Conger. She graduated from Madrid-Waddington School, and on May 26, 1962 she married Roy O. Watkins at the Massena Methodist Church. Roy predeceased her on January 7, 2017.
She was a member of Calvary Baptist Church, where she had served as Treasurer, Deacon’s wife, and cared for many children in the church nursery.

In her youth, she played the French horn and she excelled as head majorette in the marching band. She also was an avid garage sale hunter. She loved her time with family and friends, but especially treasured her 54 years with Roy.
