Janet Burnett Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Janet Burnett (Newcastle, Ontario), who passed away on October 3, 2018 at the age of 52. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Janet Burnett to pay them a last tribute.
She is survived by: her parents, William Henry Marshall and Pontypool Ont; and her children, Paul Burnett Jr and Jaccob Burnett.
Janet attended Durham College where she studied to be a legal secretary, although never pursued this as a career. (She very quickly decided after her years at college that she really did not enjoy the menial tasks the filing and typing... Her spirit proved to be far to free to be tied down to a 9 to 5 desk job. Janet found her long-time career in various positions at General Motors in Oshawa, following in her father's footsteps. Janet easily made friends wherever she went. She had the best sense of humour, an infectious laugh and an amazing smile. She also had a keen eye for the latest fashion trends, and for those who knew her and shopped with her, they probably have something in their closet that she convinced them to buy! Being a mother was her most important position in life, and her boys Paul and Jaccob certainly were front and center. Family and friends were Janet's passion and delight, and for all that knew her, she brought laughter, joy, unconditional friendship and love. She grew up with her sister Donna on their family farm, where they spent many hours around the barn, grooming and riding horses, and just getting into some good old fashioned trouble. She loved her mare Belle, and still reminisced about her, remembering the fun times riding her. Janet is survived by her sister Donna, her cousins Becky, Murray, Cathy, Paul, Karen & Gary, along with her Aunt Heather & Uncle Ted, Aunt Bev & Uncle John, Aunt Mary & Uncle Bruce, and all her loving friends. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to the Newcastle Pentecostal Church, whom we thank for their generosity and support during this difficult time).).
