Janet Canty

I was age 9 (Janet was 16) when I broke my leg in a friend's backyard. Janet swooped me up in her arms and carried me the block or so to my house. Thanks to her, the fracture was "neat" and only needed a cast—which was bad enough, of course, for me. But she was my hero that day. Janet was a few years older than most of us in the neighborhood, but she loved to play baseball with us on a nearby lot. She hit a home run every time! I never saw her again after she left for college but have fond memories of her.

Will always miss you, BBJ.

Jan was such a fun member of our P.E.O. chapter. I loved to hear her stories tell stories of her experiences teaching kids art in Europe. She was a giving person. Sending hugs of comfort to her family and friends. - Diane

Janet gave me my first job at Camp Black Hawk and nurtured me in leadership and confidence leading to a successful and enjoyable 33 year career as an interpretive naturalist in Minnesota I, along with many other women, owe her much in her support to encourage us to be strong and independent women Jan may you rest in peace with your beloved Carolyn. You have truly made a difference in so many ways! Katen "Puck" Kobey Lutsen Mn
