Janet Edney, age 89, was born in 1931 in Glendale, California to parents Charlotte and Elton Haring. Janet passed away at home peacefully in her sleep on November 4, 2020, in Shoreline Washington. She is survived by her husband Bruce, their two sons Kenneth and Tommy, grandchildren Dolan, Jeannie, Nick, Ian, Marina, and her sister Marcia.
Janet graduated from Glendale High School and Glendale Community College in southern California, then worked in the Savings and Loan business until she met future husband Bruce. He graduated from cross town rival Hoover High School and the University of California Berkeley with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. They married in June 1954.
Janet and Bruce lived in Washington since 1959 where she became a Travel Agent for Holiday House then an Airline travel Agent. She loved traveling. Her first big adventure was in 1972 with Bruce, and son's Ken and Tommy traveled through South and Central America. Then in 1976 the family bicycled for a month in Great Britain. More adventures included Africa as a Group Tour Leader in Kenya, then Mexico, Central America, the Galapagos, India, China, Europe, Norway, Australia, and New Zealand. Her whole family celebrated Janet's 80th Birthday in Hawaii.
Besides traveling Janet loved being involved in her grandkid's activities and adventures. She was also part of the Seattle Puget Sound Mudsharks girls Skin Diving Club called the "She Urchins" and the "Taints" bicycling club. The "Taints" had many local weekend and touring adventures in Washington, Oregon, California, Vermont, and Europe.
Janet's zest for life was surpassed only by her unwavering love for the "men" in her life: husband Bruce and their two boys, Kenny and Tommy.
A celebration of life will be held privately within the family.
