Janet Louise Gawrys, age 63, of Middlefield, went home to be with Jesus on February 6, 2019. Born on January 9, 1956 to John and Lulua (Bell) Gawrys, Janet was a happy person who never met a stranger. She spent many years at St. John’s Villa (Carrollton, Ohio) before moving to the Geauga County Home. The last three years, she has resided at Briar Hill in Middlefield. Janet attended St. Helen’s Catholic Church.
Janet enjoyed crafts such as making potholders, knitting and embroidery. She loved teasing her family and friends, making new friends and shopping! Janet participated in the Special Olympics. Earning her G.E.D. was a life-long goal she obtained in 2014, proudly celebrating her accomplishment along with her great-niece Meranda Marsch’s high school graduation.
Janet is survived by her brother, Bill (Judy) Gawrys of Manchester, TN, her brother-in-law, Ramon Marsch, of Middlefield, a niece and five nephews, many great-nieces and nephews, six great-great nieces and nephews, many cousins and lots of friends. Janet is predeceased by her parents, and her sister Jane Marsch.
A Memorial Service will be held at a later time to remember and celebrate her life.
