Janet Sue Smith
(memorial service)
The {Fanciest} Celebration of Life {Ever} will be held:

Where: Immanuel Lutheran
303 N Church St.
Silverton, OR 97381
In this day and age when we don’t often get a chance to dress up, Janet often took every chance she could to get dressed to the nines. Janet loved to dress her best for tea parties, cocktails, really any excuse.
In light of this, and in honor of Janet, her family is planning to dress up for her memorial. We invite you to join us in wearing your best cocktail or tea party outfit. Wear that fancy dress, favorite suit or hat. The sparkly shoes. The pinker the better. {Pink was her favorite color.}
Please know that dressing your finest is not required to come honor Janet. Janet had so much compassion, kindness, and love for everyone from all walks of life. She would hate it if someone felt they couldn’t come without being fancy. Come as you are and join Janet’s family in celebrating of her life. 💗
If you would like to make a donation to honor Janet and the passion she had for helping mothers to breastfeed and parent their children, a donation can be made to La Leche League Int. in her name. Janet was a long time supporter of LLL and its work to raise up peer support for breastfeeding mothers.
