In memory of

Janet Grace Williams

August 6, 1933 -  August 10, 2024

Janet Grace Williams (née Fenn) born on August 6, 1933, passed away peacefully, on August 10, 2024, in her 92nd year, surrounded by her cherished family. Loving wife of the late Douglas Williams (2008). Devoted mother of the late Susan Elizabeth Eder (2013) and the late Catherine Ruth Williams (2021). Endeared mother-in-law to the late Peter Riley (2022) and the late Peter Duffy (2021).

Janet's memory lives on through her loving daughters, Nancy Riley and Mary Duffy, adored grandmother and great-grandmother to her many cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her family, extended family and friends were everything to her and she will be sorely missed.

Known for her infectious laugh, quick wit, and resilience, Janet lived life to the fullest, strong and determined. She found joy in simple pleasures, always losing herself in a good book, cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays (on T.V. or even alone in-person whenever she she could get a ticket) or experiencing the magic of live theatre in downtown Toronto.

Janet's spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

"She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. She walked with the universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings."

Mary and family,
I am sorry I can't attend your mom's service. I send my deepest condolences to you all. I know how well loved and cared for Janet was. She was a feisty woman and I particularly enjoyed her company when we met up in Dublin. She was really enjoying her trip to Ireland.
May all your memories and the support of loved ones give you comfort during this sad time.
Barbara
