Janet and her sister came to Walberswick, from London, in the late 1980s and lived in Church Field. She was a violin teacher, and her love of music soon found her in the church choir. In her early days in the village Janet also joined the Blythburgh Singers, player with a recorder group, was a member of WATS and joined Tai Chi and art classes. Janet took part in fundraising events and was always a willing helper on the cake stall.
Failing health in recent year saw less of Janet around Walberswick. She was taken ill on 22nd January and went from hospital to Priory Paddocks where, shortly afterwards, she died peacefully in her sleep.
