Obituary of Janet Eleanor Hebel

Passed away peacefully in her Waterloo home on Sunday July 12, 2020, in her 84^th year. For almost 63 years Janet was the loving wife of Edwin “Bud” John Hebel Jr., recently predeceased. Dear mother of Chris, Gary (Debbie) & Steve (Susan). Beloved grandmother to Nicole (Frank), Jesse (Helen), Josh, Rachel (Mark) and Ethan. Precious great-grandmother to Leyla, Elisha, Enzo and Jacob. Predeceased by her parents Elroy & Adelaide Shantz.

Janet enjoyed life’s small pleasures of being with her dear family and treasured family pets; her joy in the Christmas season; leisurely drives to favourite restaurants; and enjoying sun-filled afternoons either at her pool or at the beach. Janet particularly cherished her time with her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren as she attended their many plays, concerts and sporting events. Janet was much loved by her family, and her sparkle is so greatly missed.

The family wishes to thank Dr. McLaughlin and Brenda, of Home Instead, for their respectful care as family honoured her request to remain within her home.
