Janet A. Cowley

February 15, 1949 - February 28, 2022

Janet Ann (McMartin) Cowley, age 73 of Fort Gratiot passed away peacefully on February 28th, 2022 in her home surrounded by her family, after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. She was born February 15, 1949 in Port Huron to the late Harry and Bette McMartin. She married Charles “Chuck” Cowley on October 25, 1968. He preceded her in death after 46 years of marriage on April 19, 2015. Janet graduated from Marysville High School in 1967. She worked at Port Huron Hospital and then opened her home to provide daycare to several children whom she loved like her own. Janet was a hard worker and very independent. She took pride in working in her yard and decorating her home. She was an avid reader, enjoyed relaxing by the pool, watching Tiger baseball, snuggling with her dog Milo and taking care of her grand pups. Without a doubt, her greatest joy was spending time with her girls and beautiful grandchildren. Her thoughtfulness, generosity and kind nature will leave a lasting imprint in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed by her daughters, Jill (Chuck) Russell and Jodi (Jeff) Brockitt; grandchildren: Justin and Jenna Russell, Olivia and Jeffery Brockitt, and Kayla (Brent) Ogilvie; great grandchildren: Remy and Ivan Ogilvie; furbaby, Milo; brother, Pete (Jan) McMartin and sister, Barbara (Jeff) Henry, sister-in-law, Mary Ann (Robert) Sheehy, brother-in-law, Mike (Jeanette) Cowley; sister-in-law, Chris Ketelhut, and several nieces and nephews.
