LEWIS, Janet Marguerite (January 21, 1958 – November 7, 2020) It is with extreme sadness and broken hearts that we announce the passing of our dearest sister and beautiful soul Janet Lewis, after a very courageous journey with cancer, at the age of 62.

Her fur babies Daisy, Sheba, Zoey, Puss and Rosie. A special thank you to Janet’s close friends Barbara Pomeroy, Marilyn Tuff and Carol Ann O’Brien for your years of love, support, and friendship.
