Janet Sheil, age 97, passed away peacefully at All Saints Memory Care, on Sunday, May 25, 2025. Janet was a kind and beautiful soul, a loving wife and mother who took great care to nurture those she loved. She showed strength and courage after being widowed and was enormously proud of her home and family.
