The family greatly appreciates donations made to these charities in Janet T. Davis 's name.
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Aunt Janet as a warm, generous and sweet lady. It is very nice to read the loving tribute and know that she had a life that sounds very rewarding. My condolences to her friends and family.
I was a supervisor at the Monroe County Dept. of Social Services in the late sixties, and had the privilege of having Janet in my foster care unit. She was the consummate social worker, skillful, dedicated, even loving, towar her clients, whether foster parents, children in care or biological families. Truly a gift to all of those she served!
I am so sorry to hear about Janets passing. I will always remember her beautiful smile and gentle personality. On my many visits to her sisters house Ginny Mahns, we shared so many happy times. Prayers to all her many family members who she was so proud of and loved dearly.
