She is survived by her two children, Alarik and Arden, their spouses Kristine and Dan, and her grandson Zachary, as well as her two brothers Gary and Richard.

Janet was a joyful bright light who loved playing bridge, making crafts, traveling, spending time with her children and grandson in New York City, going to Broadway shows, museums, and exploring the city. A social butterfly, Janet was a member of the Sakonnet Golf Club, the Sakonnet Point Club, and Warren’s Point Beach Club and loved living in Little Compton.
