Jan & I have been friends since working at the Missouri School for the Blind while attending St. Louis University way back in 1965. Through the years we have remainsed in contact - I knew somehting was wrong when she did respond to our July birthdays communications. My most sincere sympathy to her family. She was one of kind-great mother, good wife, community volunteer, best physical therapist ever.

Janet was a joy to know. We met hiking Arnett Canyon in AZ several years ago. Initially we lived in the same park. Always envied her knowledge of plants on the trails. What a lady! God bless her. My condolences to you Dave and the family.

We met Jan and Dave in God Canyon AZ in 2014, Jan was a lovely woman and an inspiration to anyone she met. We attended her St. Patrick Day party at the park, when I told her my grandparents name was O’Brien. Our sincere condolences to the family.

Jan was one of the most unselfish women I have ever known. I met her in Gold Canyon in the knitting group. She was so talented and loved her family so much. At that time she was so concerned about her dil. She carried on in spite of her health issues and always had a smile. How fortunate you all were to spend so much time with her.

I was saddened to hear of Jan‘s death, but happy to think that she is now carefree in the arms of our Lord. She was such a sweet and caring lady. I knew her for years and she always had a smile. Recently, I called her to see if she wanted to donate food to a funeral, and she still was donating and giving of herself. May she rest in peace. And may the family be blessed with many wonderful memories.

Jan was an amazing person. I remember her fondly during my childhood, always making a point to play with us younger ones. She was always taking all the photos. I specifically remember my senior trip to Kauai, Hawaii stopping at a destination spot at a waterfall. I couldn’t believe it when I spotted Dave and then Jan! I remember getting some big hugs and we couldn’t believe we were in the same place at the same time. I will always cherish these memories.

Deepest sympathy to Janet's family. I have such fond memories of her from grade school (St. Francis) and high school (Notre Dame). Janet was always such a kind, caring person who always gave her full attention to you when engaging in a conversation. I will miss her email notes and her smiling face at our class reunions. Rest in Peace, dear lady.

I met Janet when I worked for Internist PC. She was a patient of Dr Nile Dusdieker. We became fast friends. She was so sweet no matter how bad she felt. When I married and moved to Virginia we kept in touch and through my travels. We have kept in touch through cards and e-mails. I didn't realize how involved with life she was. I'm so honored to have called her a special friend. My condolences to Dave and his beautiful family. She was so proud of her children.

I knew and liked Janet in high school, but we were not really close friends. But somehow we established an email friendship that has lasted so long I can't remember when it started. It was probably the result of a conversation at a class reunion. She was a great conversationalist. She listened with empathy and spoke with kindness, truth, and humor. Her life was clearly rich, so she always had interesting things to talk about. She was a pysical therapist, and source of free advice for an aging athlete. She knew a lot about a lot of topics. And was always motivated to help others, a very giving person. I will truly miss her, and it's going to take me a while before I can confront the task of deleting her email from my address book.

Jan worked as a Physical Therapist with my Dad, Frank Hazelton. She was a dear friend to both Dad and Mom, and after Dad's passing, made sure to stay in touch with Mom, offering love and support. We offer that same love and support to Dave and the extended family. Jan was a graceful, loving, special lady. Peace.

My deepest condolences to Dave and the entire family at the loss of Jan, she was definitely one in a million! When I was first diagnosed with Crohn's, Jan was my biggest help and I wouldn't have made it without her! I was so lucky that we stayed friends and in contact over all these years. I loved her notes, emails and Christmas cards! The world has lost an amazing woman and heaven now has a beautiful, loving angel. I am so, so sorry for your heartbreaking loss! I will miss her so very much!

Sympathy and prayers to the family.
Janet was a high school classmate. She was an energetic and spirited person. She lighted up the room when she entered. I enjoyed the brief contacts with Janet over all the years, especially at class reunions. I will miss her radiant smile.

Mrs. Monk was a truly remarkable woman! I knew she was very accomplished and involved in many things but I didn’t know how much until reading her wonderful obituary. She was maybe the strongest person I’ve ever known and one of the nicest! I was privileged to have known her. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
