Parcourez la nécrologie de Janet Helen Rooney Tuesday March 7th 2023 résidant dans la province Ontario pour le détail des funérailles
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our cherished Janet Rooney, age
64, following an unexpected illness she faced with extreme grace and courage. Janet was the
devoted and caring wife to her beloved husband, Jon Van Deventer – the love of her life; loving
mother to Melissa and Norman; and step-mother to Rachel (Garrett), Kehl (Jill) and Venessa
(Adam). Janet was a doting Nana and loved nothing more than spending time with Averi,
Harlyn, Bryar, Evelyn, and Emily. Janet was the adored daughter and best friend of Kathleen
Rooney and the late James Rooney, and the beloved sister of Kathy (Ed), Michael (Debbie),
Jamie (Tamara), Erin (Gedis), Daniel, Kelly (Bob), and Kevin (Janice); and bonus sister to
Brenda, Barb, and Anne. Janet was a fun-loving Auntie to Shean (Lindsay), Taylor, Lindsay,
Nick, Aislinn, Meghan, Quinn, Charlotte, Michael (Mariah), Noah, James and Maddy; and
sister-in-law to Kent (Aileen), Linda (George), Jane (Pat) and Randee with whom she shared a
deep and loving relationship. Special thanks is extended to her sister Kathy and daughter-in-law
Jill for their compassionate nursing care; the incredibly kind and attentive ICU and Palliative
Care staff teams at the Juravinski Hospital; and Reverends Janet Kennedy and Ted Power.
Their numerous visits, prayers and thoughtful meditations were of great comfort for Janet. In all
of her life, Janet has been extraordinarily kind and compassionate. She cherished time spent
with her large family, extended family, her volleyball and baseball teammates, and singing in the
church choir. Janet had the sweetest character, a zest and passion for life, a deep faith in God,
and much love to share. It is her unique and vulnerable soul that we will miss the most, as well
as her unending desire to help others. She will be forever missed with deep sadness by all who
knew her.
“The most important thing is love. Open your heart and fill it with love. It’s all that matters.”
Visitation: 3 to 5 and 7 to 9 p.m., Friday, March 10, Smith’s Funeral Home, 1167 Guelph Line,
Burlington. A service will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, March 11, at the same location.
Reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donations in Janet’s memory to
Juravinski Hospital’s Intensive and Palliative Care units; Diabetes Canada or MS Society of
Canada.
