Janet was a steadfast, independent woman who, in the 1960’s, returned to school as a mother of three to get her masters degree and, in her professional life, bettered the lives of many patients at Baltimore’s Sinai Hospital and the Baltimore Correctional facility as a social worker and AIDS social work counselor.
Later in life, Janet in essence served as the head of her family, providing wisdom and loving guidance to her grandchildren, Alison, Genna and Zachary. Until her final weeks, she enjoyed an active life — one she considered unthinkable without her regular book club get-togethers, bridge games, cultural outings, plays and performances, symphony concerts and, perhaps most importantly, Sunday morning news talk programs. For family, friends and co-workers, Janet was a moral compass — unfailingly reliable in her dedication to civility, responsible behavior and empathy for those less fortunate.
The enlightened intelligence that guided Janet’s life lives on in all of us who knew and loved her.
