Janet Stevenson

Survived by husband, Mark; daughter, Maggie (Owen) Barnhill of Bedford; sisters, Cindy of Victoria; Penelope (Curtis) of Halifax; her grandsons, Patrick (21), Christopher (18), and Nicholas (17), were the light of her life. "Life is nothing but melody and Rythm" was always the answer as to how she managed to keep upbeat and supportive her whole life. Be it hockey games, voice recitals, or snuggles on the couch, she was always there for her family those around her. There is nothing she wouldn't do for her family. She loved to travel, spending many months a year globetrotting with Mark, seemingly on a mission to see every country in the world. Having achieved her goal of visiting over 50 countries, her favourite would always be Scotland. Scotland holds a special place, as many close friendships were developed throughout daughter Maggies highland dancing career. Collecting friends along her travels, Janet loved to laugh and learn. She graduated with honours from UBC at age 53, fulfilling her dream of becoming a university graduate. She was loved by many and will be forever missed.
