Janet Louise Seitz Jashinski

Janet Louise Seitz Jashinski, 82, passed away on March 30, 2020 in Williamsburg, VA. Janet will be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, wife, and friend, and she will be deeply missed. She was born October 22, 1937, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and grew up in Spokane, Washington. She was preceded in death by her first husband, Roger Seitz, who was an architect at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in Chicago, IL, and at the Irvine Company, Newport Beach, CA,...her second husband, Victor Jashinski, her son, Stephen Seitz, and her fiancé, Ralph Baumann. Janet earned her Bachelor’s in Business from the University of Idaho and was an alum of the Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority. She enjoyed membership with several different clubs and organizations, including the Camelot Guild of the Segerstrom Center for the Performing Arts in Costa Mesa, CA; Visionaries of the Orange County Museum of Art; the Philharmonic Society of Orange County, CA; member of Our Lady Queen of Angels Church; active member of Newport-Mesa Assistance League where she was a volunteer dental assistant for over 15 years; and the Women’s Architectural League of Chicago, IL. Janet cultivated meaningful relationships, and her family and friends saw her as devoted, thoughtful, loyal, and loving, with a deep adventurous spirit. As her first husband served in the Navy and her second husband served in the Air Force, Janet developed a love of travel. She was an avid gardener, she cultivated beautiful roses to share with friends, and also enjoyed the theater. She will be missed by her daughter, Rochelle Seitz (Rom Lipcius); grandchildren, Luc Lipcius, Andre Lipcius, Alexandra Seitz-Winstin, Samantha Seitz-Winstin, Kyra Seitz-Winstin and Lucille Seitz; brother, Marvin Novak (Shirley Novak); and all her friends and relatives in the Seitz, Lipcius, and Novak families. She saw the best in people and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
