We are sad to announce that on June 24, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Janet M. Downing of Joliet, Illinois. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Janet M. Downing to show support.

In the soft embrace of remembrance, we recall the profound impact Janet had on those she encountered along her journey. Though Janet may have slipped beyond the veil of mortality, her essence lingers like a faint fragrance in the air, a lingering reminder of the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
