Janet Grace Williamson, age 79, of Sylvania, passed away in her home on February 18, 2024. She was born December 9, 1944 in Toledo to Gordon and Malinda "Mae" (Grime) VanEtten. Before starting her family, Janet proudly worked as a nurse's aid for several years. Her priority then became caring for her family and her home and supporting her four sons in their endeavors.
