Memorial for one of our own

01/18/2013

Our region has lost a longtime, and well-loved, friend and member. A good friend of Janet Rohrbaugh has shared the sad news that Janet passed away peacefully the evening of January 15. She was sitting in her chair reading a book. The cause of death is unknown at this time, but doctors suspect it was her heart.

Janet will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

There will be a memorial service for Janet at Westminster Presbyterian Church in NE Portland on Saturday, January 26, at 2pm.

What we can do for the family is to come and celebrate Janet's life at her memorial on January 26.

Janet's family has also asked that in lieu of sending flowers, please send a donation to the American Heart Association.

Please do pass this news and memorial information on to those who knew and loved her.

I would be interested in contributing to a JASNA related memorial. Maybe to the Chawton Library or one of Janes Churches. Is that possible for our group to do that??
I plan on attending the memorial on Saturday.
