Janine peacefully left this world on Sunday, September 24, 2023, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on November 30th, 1956 in Santa Clara, CA to Elmer “Burt” Lopes and Patricia Triena Lopes.
Janine was a strong free spirited woman who touched the lives of many with her warmth, kindness, and unwavering love. She was devoted to her family and friends. She enjoyed cooking for her family, gardening, spending time with her grandchildren and taking care of her many animals. She especially loved winters in Tahoe and summers in Yosemite at the cabin her father built.
Janine will be remembered for her love of Hornitos, colors of orange, Capitola-by-the-Sea, the 49ers and her family. Her enduring love, wisdom, and the countless memories she created will continue to inspire and guide those who had the privilege of knowing her.
She is survived by her daughters (April and Amanda), grandchildren (Elijah, Antonia and Matthew), father (Elmer “Burt” Lopes) and brother (Randall “Randy” Lopes) who will forever hold her memory in their hearts.
Friends and family are invited to attend the Celebration of Janine’s life at her home (3108 Fresno St., Santa Clara, CA, 95051) on November 4th, beginning at 2 p.m.
The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to all those who supported and cared for Janine during her journey.
Janine will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of all those whose lives she touched.
