It's hard to describe someone's life after living 102 years.
Janet Demyan grew up with very little, but her life became very full as it progressed. She raised a family of four, with a husband who was decent, hard-working and was a loving partner. We couldn't have asked for better parents. She had her hobbies, including any type of card game, baking her famous Christmas cookies, and hosting parties at the house. Janet and Alex travelled the world, and treated their family to countless vacations and cruises. But mostly she treasured her friends. She loved people above all else.
She is survived by her four children, Alex, Jay, Janell (Warren), and Michael (Cindy). Her grandchildren Matthew (Mindy), Rachel, Alissa (Steve), and Emily (Dan). Her great-grandchildren Jacob, Logan, and Eliza (who brightened her life beyond words). Linda Dunson is a cousin in Texas who was very special to her.
She was preceded in death by her husband Alex and daughter-in-law Jill.
