The family would like to thank her caregivers; Mellany, Anne, Kathy, Laura, Kelly, Deborah, Stevette, and Denise and the nurses and staff of Community Home Care & Hospice for their loving and compassionate care during the last years of her life.
Janet had a strong faith in the Lord and a heart for serving others and was involved in a number of faith-based ministries. To honor her service, the family suggests in lieu of flowers that a donation be made to the Albemarle Crisis Pregnancy Center, N.O.A.H. Ministries, Inc., or Chase & Kristina Granstaff Missions.
Janet was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother, and extended this love & caring to many others beyond her biological family. Although we will miss her, we are comforted in knowing she is rejoicing in her new heavenly home. “Welcome thou Good & Faithful Servant, enter into the joy of thy Lord.”
