ObituaryJanet Ann Anderson
Janet Anderson,
passed away, Sunday May 22, 2016 at St. Mary's Medical Center, with her
family by her side. She was born Janet Ann Wolczenski in Chicago, IL on
October 22, 1921. Janet lived a wonderful life, growing up in a Polish
neighborhood in Chicago. She attended her Parish school at St. John
Cantius and later graduated from St. Stanislaus Kostka High School. She
trained to be a secretary but also studied vocal performance and performed
as an opera Soprano on Chicago radio stations and at other civic events.
Her love of all music was evident throughout her life. She met her future
husband James Anderson when they were co-workers in post WWII Chicago.
They were married for nearly 52 years before his untimely death in 2003.
Janet had two children, Steve (Marcia) Anderson of South Point, OH and
Mary Anderson of Vernon Hills, IL, and 5 beloved grandchildren, Steven,
Markessa (Chris) Needham, Alex, Zachary and James Anderson. She was also a
loved Aunt of many nieces and nephews across the country. The last half of
her life Janet lived in Huntington, and this became her family's adopted
hometown. When her children were grown she went to work at WPBY Television
for 20 years and gained may dear friends from the experience. She was also
an active volunteer in her community and her Parish, Our Lady of Fatima.
Early on after moving to Huntington, she and other Tallwood Acres
residents assisted a neighboring family exercising two disabled children,
which bonded the neighborhood together. After her retirement from WPBY
Janet volunteered at the Our Lady of Fatima Parish School library. An avid
reader herself, she loved working at the school. Once again she loved the
many friendships she gained from the experience. Besides her husband Janet
was preceded in death by her parents Stefan and Aniela Wolczenski, her
brother Stanley (Joan), and her sister Ada (Stan) Zmudski. She leaves
behind her children, grandchildren and other extended family who will keep
her in their hearts forever. Funeral Mass will be conducted at 10:00 AM on
Wednesday, May 25, 2016 at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church, Huntington,
W.Va. with Father Paul Yuenger officiating. Entombment will follow in
Woodmere Memorial Park, Huntington, W.Va. The family will receive friends
from 6-8 PM on Tuesday, May 24, 2016 at Henson & Kitchen Mortuary,
Huntington, W.Va. near Barboursville. The family requests that memorial
