I knew Janet from High School. We were friends but lost contact afterwards. She definitely had a notable laugh, contagious, just like her smile. I never had the pleasure of meeting her children, but do remember her Mom & Dad. A wonderful family, so know surprise she created the same for herself and her children.

My condolences to all of the family.

RIP Janet 🤍

Janet and her entire family are like second family to us. She will be so missed by all but she has peace knowing how close her family is and how much they will help each other through this. She will always be remembered for that giggle of hers and her amazing smile that lit up the room she was in. Jesse and Tamara your mom was (and still is) one of a kind. We are here for all of you at anytime. With sincere love from the Carriere's ❤️💕🙏🏻

Janet was my cousin, younger by a year or so. We were lucky enough to share a name. It is impossible to think of Janet and not think of her smiling eyes, just like her Mom's were , her smile and her infectious laugh. Janet was so kind, so positive and so appreciative of everyone around her , her devotion To and love of family along with her pride in her children was evident with every conversation. She faced this past year with courage and strength, above all with grace. She was hopeful but accepting.... she led by example. Grateful for our cousins weekends , our family reunion last spring and our many chats over the last year. A heartbreaking loss , way too soon.

I worked with Janet at RANA care group for many years. I always called her J Lo and she would laugh 😂

we put in a special air conditioner in her office as she was to hot. We called it a meat locker as it was always so cold 🥶 in there! Will miss her. such a kind lady that loved her family so much. 💕

The smile says it all! Janet's constant smile, laughter, kindness and positivity was infectious. We were so lucky to have her in our lives and she is gone way too soon. RIP dear Janet, you are loved and will be missed so much.

I first met Janet in 1998, picking up rolls of carpet at Buckwold. She always got a kick out of my green & purple work van. A few years later we ended up working together & she remembered me right away. Janet was the kindest person to everyone. Condolences Tamara, Jesse & family. I often think of Janet & the impactful positivity she brought upon those around her.

💕

I was fortunate to spend some of my teenage years knowing Janet growing up in Calgary. I remember that smile so well and her giggle and her sausage roll bangs. I remember the caring person she was and how she looked out for her siblings. She loved her family. I remember more than a few Friday nights at her house while she babysat. Such a sweet soul.

My condolences to all Janet's family and friends.

💕

Went through a few of my photos now and wanted to share a few memorable and amazing times including being one of my bridesmaids. Miss you Janet. 💕

Sending my love and deepest sympathy to the Labossiere family..

My love and condolence to all the family in this time of sadness and grieving. Oh how I had hoped to make it to Winnipeg and get another visit in with Janet. I so treasure the last time we sat together and giggled at the women's retreat. it is so heartbreaking that there will be no more opportunities to enjoy Janet's warmth and laughter. Keeping all the family in my prayers and in my heart!

lots of love

Michelle ( Edmonton)

We have so many great memerories growing up together and of the lodge ladies yearly weekend getaways. We will miss your positivity, smile and infectious laughter.

Love you all so very much!!

We grew up in separate provinces but would see each other when our families managed to reunite somewhere. In the summer of our 14/15 year Janet and I really hit it off and we started a letter writing habit that lasted a number of years. I will always remember Janet's laughter and her kindness.

I am struggling to put into words what I am feeling. I've known Janet for 40+ years. She was always optimistic and her laugh was contagious. Even after her cancer diagnosis she remained positive and I knew she would fight this disease with everything within her. My heart breaks for Tamara, Jesse and the entire Labossiere family. Find comfort knowing she is no longer suffering

I've known Janet for about 45 years. Terry and I were at the hospital when Tamara was born. I remember many a card game with Monique when Janet was pregnant. Funny it doesn't seem that long ago.

Janet was alway our designated driver, she'd pile six people in her car and drive us home, never complaining, always laughing. I could probably count on one hand Janet getting mad, she just never did.

We went to many parties and bars and would dance up a storm. I am sure glad we kept in contact through all the years.

Janet I'm going to miss you my friend, thank-you for your friendship, it has been an honor to call you my friend.

My heart goes out to Tamara and Jesse and the rest of the Labossiere family.

We are so sorry and sad to hear of Janet's passing. She had the best laugh and an amazing outlook on life that felt infectious. We are so grateful to have had visits with her at the family reunion this year. We are thinking and praying for everyone in your family.

Sincere sympathy to Erica,Jesse, Tamara and all of the families. Thoughts are with you all in this difficult time. I have met Janet on several occasions and she always made everyone laugh and was full of joy. RIP

sincerely Doreen Geirnaert

I worked with Janet at Buckwold Western then again at RANA. It was a joy to work and know Janet. I am glad our paths crossed. My thoughts are with the family.

Janet and I were friends for 10 years. She was my buddy from the start of my training. We spent lunches together at the office and she always had a smile and a laugh. She was immensely proud of her daughter and son, as well as all her family. I will miss our chats, FB messages and visits.

I'm so sad to see this. I worked with Janet for many years. She was a wonderful employee! Always giggling and such a delight to have on my team. My condolences to the family. She will be missed by many. A friend to everyone!

How do you sum up a lifetime of joy and memories in a few sentences? We sang, danced, we accordioned (okay, that was just you 🤣), we made up games, got into small amounts of trouble, and partied like it was 1988. As we got older, we saw each other less but the love was and will always be there. I am blessed with the plethora of warm memories to comfort me when missing you feels unbearable.. 🙏🏼💔😢

By the way, our parents were horrible photographers, but we were cute anyway.

Janet was not only a coworker but a dear friend to many of us. She brought positivity to our team. There's never a dull moment with her. She will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathies go out to her family.

Janet, so many memories we had together, from school, to parties to you having your kids. I still remember like yesterday Joan and I at the hospital with you when Tamara was born.

You will always have a special place in my heart. Your kindness, your laughter and your willingness to be there for me. Even when we ended up provinces apart.

I will miss our conversations and good times we shared.

Thank you for being the wonderful friend you were and I will really miss you.

it's hard to say good bye so I will just say see you later.

love you and rest in paradise my sweet friend!

I also worked with Janet at RANA. She trained me, she was very positive and gave me a lot of encouragement. We shared a lot of giggles and some nice conversation. I am completely lost for words. I am so sorry for your loss, she will be missed by many.

I am so sorry to hear this, I worked with Janet at RANA, I just talked to her about a month ago and she said she was fighting she had so much to fight for. I am proud to call her my friend. I am sending my deepest condolences, treasure your memories.

Always cheerful! I will remember our little chit chats by the washroom 😆 you will be missed Janet...rest easy 🙏🏼

Janet was an amazingly simple complicated woman. Her naieve giggle, and pure innocence made her incredibly lovable. She was loyal to a fault, and lived life as uncomplicated as possible. She stayed naive all her life, having faith in everyone she touched. I shed a tear but also where a smile of her memory, im happy that shes playing bingo with her mother
again

Janet, We so appreciated your uplifting spirit and positive energy especially in your final months. You leave behind a schwack of cousins who will miss your laugh at our family reunions but we know you've joined your Mom and the family party in the sky🥰. Love you cuz and miss you already! Thinking of all those who remain and wishing them many joy filled memories of you🤗🙏♥️

I had the amazing honour of working with Janet and she would always put the biggest smile on my face! She was so kind and easy to talk to and always there for you. I'm so lucky to have met and worked with her! Thank you Janet for everything

I worked with Janet and I was her TA answering questions and getting her work. She was always so happy and smiling a real joy to be around. Her happiness was contagious. Rest easy Janet you will be missed.

Janet was such an amazing person. She was the best coworker, someone you could turn to no matter what. She would help with no hesitations. I will forever be grateful to have met her and that we became friends. I will miss her a lot.

I trained Janet when she started working. She was such a joy to be around always smiling and laughing. Always making sure she made you smile. Loved taking the time to talk with her and listen to her happy stories. This is so sad to hear, she will truly be missed by me and her coworkers. She was like family. My you rest in peace Janet and pain free. Fly with the angels my friend.

Lovely lady, I worked with her in several units...she was always willing to give a helping hand or a kind word.
