Janet Lee Polegato
1967-2020
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of
Janet Lee (Scott) Polegato on January 18, 2020 after a courageous
battle with cancer. Born in 1967 in Bathurst, NB, she is the daughter
of David William Scott and the late Mary Laurel (Gildart) Scott and
the adored wife of Lionel Polegato.
Janet was a school teacher for 26 years. Biology was her
favorite subject and she was thrilled to be able to bless her students
with the gift of knowledge and education. She was a very
kind woman who never hesitated to lend a helping hand, even after her
diagnosis and people gravitated to her loving and caring
personality. She truly was an amazing lady. Beyond
her teaching, Janet also had a few things that made her
happy. Most Sports, especially softball, kettle bells,
Corona’s and spicy food, the ocean and bare feet, a glass of
wine with her “sister-friends”, elderly folks she
could dote on and above all else, spending time with her beloved
husband Lionel. Janet left her mark on this world and the
people in it and her passing will be deeply noted. Rest in peace brave
lady.
In addition to her loving father David, Janet will be dearly
missed by and forever in the hearts of her husband and best friend,
Lionel Polegato; her adoring and loyal canine fur baby, Milo; her only
sibling and dear sister Lynn Newell (David) of Plymouth,
Mass.; her very special nieces and nephews Nicole Wooley
(Clayton) of Houston, TX, and their daughter Maggie; Cameron Newell
(Rachel) of Plymouth Mass., Nico Polegato of Calgary AB; and several
extended family members and friends.
