I knew Janetta from the Eagles Club and am very honored to say she was a good person with a good heart as well as a good friend. I enjoyed spending time with her at the meetings at the club and after it closed, enjoyed playing Bingo with her at the Lulac Club. She is greatly missed and thought of often. 

She was a great lady. Rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏

When I was 6yrs old I was sitting around the dinner table eating steak with my mom and Aunt Janetta.  I started to choke on a piece of meat and looked at my mom with panic and fear in my eyes. She ran to me and tried to do the heimlich maneuver but she just wasn't big enough. Aunt Janetta said "Give me that boy!" She quick grabbed me by the arm, swung her arms around me and thrusted one time hard with her fist in my chest, the chunk of meat came out of my throat and flew across the room! I'm not sure if I would have lived to see another day if it wasn't for Aunt Janetta's quick thinking and strength! Aunt Janetta you will be so missed, I will miss your company and your contagious laugh the most. Love you, Chadderbox!

We knew Janetta from the F.O.E.#235 club and from the Lulac club where we played bingo. She was a great person and a friend to all who knew her. Our condolences to her family and friends. Our hearts go out to you all.

Aunt Janetta You have always been apart of my life like a 2 mother Me and mom stayed moving in with you and your family making us apart of your Family I remember you letting me stay home from school so I could lay out with you and another time to watch Young and the Restless those and so many more Memories  I’m so grateful for 
 I Love Love You Aunt Janetta you will always be in my ❤️ heart RIH My Angel 


I'm the eldest of Janettas' nieces, no secret that she was my favorite Aunt.  I have so many memories from 5 yrs old til I moved away at 27. There wasn't a day that I wasn't at the the Mendez house. One particular memory stands out.  Janetta love to ride around in the car, (as we all knew she never drove) anyway, everytime it snowed she wanted me to take her over to Mayflower trucking parking lot and do donuts in the snow. We had so much fun, and she would laugh so hard.  My deepest regret is that my life got in the way and didn't keep in as much touch as I should have or could of.  I will forever miss her. I have all our memories in my heart and mind. I loved her so much.
