Peacefully surrounded by her loving family on 9th July 2025, Janis aged 66 years of Rishton. The devoted and much loved wife of Graham, adored and loving mum of Vicky, dear mother-in-law of Craig, cherished granny of Niamh, Jack, Jen and James, loved cousin of Joanne and her daughter Holly and a dear relative and friend to many.
Born and raised in Rishton, Janis was a well known face within the community and loved by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She began her working life in manufacturing before moving in to sales administration, working for many years at Promethean where she was a highly respected member of her working team. Janis was generous with her time and was always on hand to help anyone. She gave much of her time volunteering at many local community groups including at her local Library, Knit & natter and St Peter and St Paul’s Community Cafe as well as many more. She loved life and had more hobbies than most from knitting to live music, Janis had an artistic flare and was the most talented artist and loved all crafts. A keen historian she spent many hours over the years completing her family tree, tracing back ancestors from generations gone by. Travel was another great passion for Janis and together with her beloved husband Graham they have travelled the length and breadth of the UK with Edinburgh and Orkney holding a special place in her heart. Janis was a true people magnet and people were naturally drawn to her, she could chat about anything to anyone and once you had made a friend with Janis, you had made a friend for life.
