“Ms Symon is going to be missed. She was one of the most memorable educators in my life, and someone who truly had a passion for her career. I was lucky to keep in touch with Ms Symon, who insisted I called her Janet. She would recall good memories of our class, show a sincere interest in my current life, always smiling and thoughtful. She will be sadly missed by many. I’m so thankful to be one of the hundreds of students she taught, all of whom loved her.”

“I am so sad about the news of Janet’s passing. I have very fond memories of teaching with her, many lunches and outings, visits at each others homes and her many visits up to my cabin. I was thrilled to receive her emails from Israel and agree with Margaret that it was a highlight of her life. My sincere condolences to her family. I will treasure all my precious memories in my heart. Cathy Anderson”

Pam Ludwar wrote a sympathy message

“My deepest sympathies go out to Janet’s siblings & families. I met Janet while a student at the U of S. We were both Music Education students. I left after 1 year to attend the U of A & Janet decided to come too. We were roommates for 2 years. What I remember most about Janet is her bubbly personality, her ready smile, her cheerful outlook on life, as well as her love of teaching & of music. I am sorry we didn’t keep in touch over the years. She was a true and loyal friend. Pam Ludwar”
