It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Janet, a truly remarkable soul whose presence graced our lives in ways words cannot capture. Janet Louise Jones, age 61, gained her angel wings on February 29, 2024 surrounded by her loving family at her home, leaving behind a legacy of love and kindness.
Janet was born on November 6, 1962 in Mankato to William and MaryJane (Kehoe) Larkin. She graduated from Mankato East High School. Soon after, she began working at Mayo Clinic Health System in Mankato. Throughout her 40 years with Mayo, Janet worked in various departments, ending with lead secretary with the scheduling department.
On July 20, 1996 Janet was united in marriage to Clennie “Tim” Jones. Tim and Janet spent over 27 years loving and supporting each other.
Janet enjoyed cheering for the Minnesota Vikings, having football Sunday with her family, bowling with Tim, then later watching Tim and Timmy bowl, traveling, and shopping, but the one thing Janet loved most was spending time with her grandchildren.
