Janet Ann Vinson, a much loved wife, mum, Nanna and sister, passed away in Nevada, Missouri, on 29 October 2026, aged 79.
Born in Jersey, British Isles, on 22 August 1947 to Ruth Hill, Janet was raised by her adoptive parents, Jim and Clarice (née La Rue). In 2007, she moved to Missouri and married Gary, where they spent a wonderful 19 years together.
Janet was kind, loving and full of fun, with a warmth that endeared her to everyone she met. She loved nature, enjoyed genealogy and was an active member of her church.
She will be dearly missed by Gary, her children Jasmin, Stafford, David and Julian; her grandchildren; and her sisters Darlene and Debbie in Australia. She will be reunited in heaven with her beloved son, Samuel, and the many dear family members and friends who have gone before her, including her parents, brother and sister.
A service to celebrate Janet’s life will be held at 10.00 am on 3 November 2026 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Nevada, MO, led by Bishop Brandon Sohm. Janet will then be laid to rest at Olive Branch Cemetery in Milo, Missouri.
