Janet Gail Hartman-Ruiter

We bid farewell to Janet Gail Hartman-Ruiter, a wonderful mother and spouse, who departed from this world on August 29, 2024 after a beautifully lived life. She is leaving a legacy of warmth, love, and joy. Janet was full of life, hugs, laughter and resilience, as she touched the lives of all who knew her all the way to her departure.

A lover of golf, bunco, and family gatherings, Janet found beauty in life’s simple moments and encouraged us all to do the same.

She was smart, humorous, and partner with her husband whom she always held hands. Janet had an unconditional love for all of her children, grandchildren, daughter-n-laws, and her pets.

From a rough childhood she took what she learned and provided a world without limits to her own children and made her into the loving person she was.

Janet will be missed by all who knew her. Thank you for being you.

"I’m There Inside Your Heart"

by Unknown

Right now I’m in a different place

And though we seem apart

I’m closer than I ever was,

I’m there inside your heart.

I’m with you when you greet each day

And while the sun shines bright

I’m there to share the sunsets, too

I’m with you every night.

I’m with you when the times are good

To share a laugh or two,

And if a tear should start to fall

I’ll still be there for you.

And when that day arrives

That we no longer are apart,

I’ll smile and hold you close to me,

Forever in my heart.
