Janet Andrews Obituary


JANET K. (PIKE) ANDREWS
November 9, 1934 ~ May 8, 2017

Janet was born in Bellingham, Washington and passed away in Portland, Oregon. She died of a broken heart. After graduating from Meridian High School, she went to Washington State, where she met Bill Andrews. They were married for 64 years. Bill and Janet traveled the United States and many other countries, but preferred to make their home in the Pacific Northwest. They especially enjoyed the many hours they spent together boating and fishing. Janet loved digging clams and working in her flower and vegetable gardens. Bill passed away on April 17, 2017, and Janet joined him three weeks later. They are survived by daughters, Susan and Nancy; five grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. Their son, Mark, predeceased them. No services are planned.

Janet was a true and loyal friend of ours for many, many years. We shared many travel trips with and her and Bill - all most enjoyable. She was a wonderful and gracious hostess, a terrific work companion, all-around great person who deeply cared for her family and friends, a person who took in-stride whatever crossed her path. I called her our Nike Girl because she "Just did it" when a new and challenging situation came her way. I will miss her beyond words and we will cherish the memories of our times together. She was a blessing in our lives in so many ways. I send our love and sympathy to her family.
