It is with profound sadness that the family of Janet Lorraine Crowe announces her passing on January 22, 2024, in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, at the age of 81.
Janet is survived by her husband, Lionel; and their daughter, Lesley (Justin). She will be deeply missed by her sister, Rhoda “Betty” Goodwin; brothers, Edwin (Fiona) Lilly and George (Sandra) Lilly; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and their families. She was predeceased by her parents, Ernest and Zaida (Sabean) Lilly; and her brother-in-law, Rod Goodwin.
Janet was raised in Paradise, later moving to Lake Echo in 1975. She spent many joyful years there, feeding the birds and tending to her garden. Janet was a woman of many talents; there were few things she couldn't do or create. She kept herself busy with hobbies like Tole Painting, cross stitching, and crocheting, and loved sharing these skills with others through teaching. Additionally, Janet was a passionate genealogist and spent countless hours researching her family history, eagerly sharing her discoveries with all of us.
Of all of Janet’s interests, dancing provided her with some of her happiest times, as she and Lionel became involved in numerous round and square dancing clubs in the Halifax area, beginning in 1968. Working tirelessly in the background and avoiding the spotlight she was involved in many events and organizations in the Maritime region, and enjoyed teaching new dancers and fostering their love for dance.
Everyone who knew Janet will remember her quick laugh, her kindness toward others, and the immense love she had for her family and friends. She will be greatly missed, but will continue to live in our hearts and memories forever.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, Canadian Wildlife Federation, Soul's Harbour Rescue Mission, or another charity of choice.
As per Janet's wishes, a graveside service will be held at the Paradise Cemetery on May 25, 2024, at 2:00pm.
