Janet Evelyn Code

August 10, 1948 — January 4, 2025

With deep sadness we announce the passing of Janet Evelyn Code, who went to the Lord’s care peacefully at home with her faithful dog Alaska and family at her side on January 4th, 2025, at the age of 76. ~ Lovingly dedicated to her Mother Mable Evelyn Code (Cragg) & Father James Harvey Code, Janet was born August 10, 1948, in New Westminster BC. Residing in Surrey, BC for a number of years before moving to the Shuswap Lake area in Celista, Janet spent the majority of her youth loving the farm, horse Penny & dog Sandie. In the years that followed the family moved again, this time to Kamloops, where Janet would spend the remainder of her life in the community. Janet’s life was not an easy road and anyone who knew her admired her determination and faith in living each day to the fullest. Despite many health issues over the decades, Janet had a genuine zest for life. Her travels to Reno with her Mom and Aunt Millie Dalin, to Alaska with Tim & Holly Judd and many wonderful “Driving Miss Daisy” road trips to Radium Hot Springs with cousins Betty Peter’s and Jacquie Hilbrecht. When at last the physical nature of Janet’s disability kept her from travelling, Janet was not to be undone! In 2017 life presented a new adventure for Janet ~ the introduction of family & friend Jean Warren who would teach Janet the miracles & accomplishments of watercolours. Janet worked tirelessly to achieve a perfect outcome. Sometimes due to being weary, Janets ambitions were higher than the end result, but never ever without heart. The learning curve for a person of disabilities was a constant surprise to both teacher and student.

Although unconventional as instruction goes, sometimes the greatest achievements were a collaboration that rendered an outcome referred to as a “happy accident”. Jean would reassure Janet that these were a learning curve and perfectly acceptable as a student goes.

We will all remember different moments shared with Janet, but her kindness, sweet nature and ability to make each of us feel special was a constant. Janet leaves behind a brother & was predeceased by her parents. A private graveside service & inurnment will take place February 3^rd, 2025 at 1:00pm. A Celebration of Life for Janet will be held May 23^rd, 2025, at the home where she was so happy.
