There are so many memories to choose from, but I feel like it has to be this one with it being Christmas and all. Janell is a part of my favorite childhood holiday tradition. Each year, after the Christmas Eve service at church, my parents would let us kids open 1 gift before going to bed. Every single year, without fail, my sisters and I would choose the gift from Janell. Each year she got us new art sets and the giant lip-smackers chapsticks (because she knew how much we loved those!) We always knew what it was in advance and somehow that was almost more exciting than the suspense of not knowing. After opening the gift, we would of course want to immediately start art projects instead of going to sleep (which is not ideal on Christmas Eve night!) But we’re eventually persuaded to go to sleep so that Santa would come visit. Not too long ago she and I were talking and I brought this up with her. She remembered doing this, but apparently never knew how much joy it brought us. I’m so glad that I got to share this with her while she was here.

Janell and Jerry we happened to meet through our love of aviation. Janell was a soft spoken kind soul who will be sorely missed. May her soul be eternal. Thinking of you Jerry and your precious Janell.

Janell and I met through both working for the City of Flint. Many evenings after working we walked around the hallways of City Hall for exercise and what sometimes felt like therapy, venting our frustrations of the day. We also talked about what was happening in our personal lives, me sharing what we did over the weekend and her sharing what was going on with her kitties. I will miss our walks and talks. Condolences to Jerry, her Mom and the rest of her family.

Last night I got thinking about Janell M Johnson and how sad it is that she passed away and all I could think about was this photo from our Junior year at BVHS in 1975. I thought I would post it for the class to remember Janell by and for her family! RIP Janell M Johnson, I hope you are no longer in any pain. May all the memories your family and friends have of you easy their grief. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Q: How did you meet Janell?
A: I met Janell at the City of Flint, when she worked for the City Clerk's Office. We always shared a quick chat whenever I saw her. I'll miss seeing her here at work, along with her infectious smile.

I worked at Scott’s Dime store with Janell and her dad. I also was in band, cheerleading and the school newspaper with Janell. It was great reconnecting with her through our class luncheons. She was a great friend and person. She will be greatly missed. Keeping her family in my thoughts and prayers.

So sad to hear about Janell. During my first year at CMU we both lived in Barnard Hall where a lot of friendships were made among all of us there as part of the Freshman Class. She was smart and had a bright future. The world is now less one great person. Hope she lives on with everyone she knew through the memories of which she was apart.

Janell was a great co worker and even better friend. She was the best to talk to and we shared a love of kitties. I will truly miss her. Love you Janell

We worked on the school papers at Saginaw Buena Vista and Central Michigan. She was a great friend and allowed me to be her insurance agent. As the Class of 1976 president I pray Janell rests in peace

I had the pleasure of working with Janell for many years at the City of Flint and consider her to be one of my closest friends. She wasn't just a dedicated employee; she was the epitome of kindness, intelligence and an understated strength that lightened the most difficult days. Her sharp wit and hearty laughter will be sorely missed. She showed me what it meant to balance professionalism with genuine humility. I will always remember her for supporting me through my losses and struggles, as well as sharing my joy during the births of my grandkids. And, of course, she taught me to always love cats. I'm sending my most sincere condolences to Jerry, her mom and the rest of her family and friends.
