Janet S Morris

Born in Greenwich CT, Janet was the daughter of Morris & Sadye Steinberg. She graduated from Greenwich High School and attended both Syracuse University and the University of Connecticut. Janet was a member of Phi Sigma Sigma sorority. She was employed as a property manager for her family real estate company.

She married Robert Morris from Port Chester in 1954 and they enjoyed 53 years together. They lived in Stamford where they made a lovely home and raised their family. She was involved in many civic activities especially at Temple Sinai where she fostered and cherished that community, sang in the choir and held several positions on the board and sisterhood. In 1981 she was named Person of the Year. Quite the significant honor. Janet enjoyed tennis, golf, knitting, traveling the world, hosting parties and shopping.

Her nickname was Mrs. Good Person and she lived up to that moniker all her life. She believed in fairness, equality, practicing random acts of kindness and especially volunteer service and charity to those less fortunate. Every Christmas, Janet volunteered at St Joseph’s Hospital so the nurses could be home with their families.

For Janet, kindness was an instinct.

Janet was a remarkable woman who lived a life dedicated to helping others. Her legacy of kindness, generosity, and service will continue to inspire those who knew her, and her memory will be treasured by all whose lives she touched. Janet had an easy laugh and loved to be with her friends. Janet kept her sense of humor even during her lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

She is survived by her two sons, Larry and Mark, their wives Emily and Judi, and her four grandchildren, Tyler, Sarah, Carter and Kate. She was predeceased by her husband. Janet is also survived by her beloved sister, Lila Lubov of Palm Beach Gardens, FL and her four children Nancy, Susan, Michael & Amy.

A graveside service will be held on Friday, May 31st, at 2:30pm at Riversville Cemetery, 99 Memory Lane, Greenwich, CT.
