Tribute
December 21, 1931 – October 3, 2025
Janette slipped away October 3rd, 2025 after 94 years of bringing a positive light into this world.
Born in Glasgow, December 21, 1931, after World War 2 she met her future husband Douglas, welcomed 2 sons (Alan and Bruce) and 4 years later emigrated to Canada in 1959.
Settling in Nanaimo, then Victoria, the family became heavily involved with the local Rugby community. Janette’s generous nature and superb hosting skills were assets that she shared with a legion of guests from all over the world.
Music was always a common theme with singing and playing the piano a lifetime passion that she brought to Salt Spring Island in 1965 when they built an A-Frame cabin on their waterfront recreational property on Roland Road. This eventually led to a post-retirement home being built on the property and Janette’s involvement with a variety of choral groups, solo recitals, as well as the Scottish Country Dance group.
Her good nature and positive social skills never wavered and she was well loved at Heritage Place, Braehaven, and Greenwoods.
Many thanks go out to all the staff who were so caring and to Dr. Ron Reznick and Jean Southgate for their thoughtful and good natured involvement with all the Grey’s:
Son Alan (1955-2001), Husband Douglas (1925- 2008), and the last left standing Bruce (1958- ) and his loving partner Jill Sharpe.
A celebration of Janette’s life will occur in the New Year on a date and in a location yet to be named.
