Janet was a Registered Nurse for 40 years. She lovingly cared for not only her family, but other’s families as well. Being a nurse was our mother’s passion in life and one she took very seriously. She was the one we’d all call for reassurance that all would be ok. She was adored by her husband, children, grandchildren & great-grandchildren. Family was everything to her. She loved family parties and especially all of the new babies to join our big family. Janet was preceded in death by her parents, grandparents, a sister Joan Martin, and her baby boy Richard Steven Best. We know a joyous reunion took place in Heaven the day she earned her wings. Rest in Peace dear mother; we love you. We would like to thank the Hospice Nurses with Inspiration Hospice who lovingly took care of our wonderful Mom. She would have been proud. Graveside services and Interment will be held 1:00 pm, Thursday, February 16, 2017 at the Ben Lomond Cemetery in North Ogden, Utah.
