Janet White Obituary

Janet Lee White, a beloved figure to many and a devoted mother to her three sons, Perry Rick, and Randel, passed away on December 25, 2025, in Lakewood, Colorado. Born on March 13, 1934, in Springfield, Missouri, she graduated from Central High School in 1952, marking the beginning of a life filled with love, family, and achievements that she held dear.

Janet dedicated fifteen years of her career as a supervisor for Lockheed-Martin, formerly known as Martin-Marietta. Her work ethic and leadership were commendable, embodying the strength and determination that characterized her entire life. Yet, amidst her professional accomplishments, it was her role as a mother that Janet considered her proudest achievement. Raising her three sons brought her immeasurable joy and fulfillment, and she nurtured them with an unparalleled love that will be cherished forever.

In addition to her steadfast dedication to family, Janet’s sense of adventure was reflected in her fond memories of boating on Tablerock Lake in Missouri. These moments by the water were not just simple activities; they epitomized the warmth and laughter she shared with those she loved, moments that her family will hold close to their hearts.

Janet was known for her caring nature and the unwavering support she offered to those around her. She had a loving and nurturing side, but she was also sometimes outspoken, sharing her opinions with a kindness that encased her words. This balance of tenderness and strength resonated deeply with her family and friends, shaping lasting relationships that will endure beyond her years.

Janet is preceded in death by her beloved husband, John White, her daughter-in-law Lisa White, and her grandson Brandon White. Their memories remain entwined with hers, creating an eternal bond that will continue to be a source of comfort and inspiration for her surviving family.

As her sons reflect on their mother’s life, they will remember Janet not just for her accomplishments and memories, but for the love and strength she instilled in them. In every corner of their lives, her influence will remain—a lasting legacy of love that will guide them forward.

Janet Lee White will be deeply missed, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
