Mrs. Janet S. Tomes, age 73, of Greenwood, Indiana, returned to her Heavenly Father on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. She was born to the late Philip and Laverne Hunter in Louisville, Kentucky on January 8, 1953. Janet is preceded in death by her parents; and siblings, Gene Hunter and Sharon Wood.
Janet was a natural caretaker and servant to others, putting everyone’s needs before her own. She had a true gift with children—especially babies. She had an open heart and door for all her “kids.” She nurtured her grandchildren, neighborhood children and even plants, seeing the potential in all of the above.
She was “small but mighty.” From being born extremely premature to all the trials and tribulations with her health, she was always optimistic, full of hope, and confident in knowing everything would work out as it should.
She is survived by her loving husband, Michael; her son Geoffrey (Ashley), their children Elysse, Graham, and Milly Kate; daughter, Melissa and her daughter Jadyn; brother, Rick Hunter; and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.
Funeral service will be held on Friday, October 2, 2026 at 12:00 PM in the chapel of Schoppenhorst, Underwood and Brooks Funeral Home (Preston Hwy at Brooks Rd) with burial to follow in Brookland Cemetery. Family and friends may pay their respects on Thursday, October 1, 2026 from 4:00pm until 8:00 pm and again on Friday from 10:00 am until the time of service.
