Janeth J. Page passed away peacefully at her home at Lake of the Woods on Thursday, May 15, 2008 with her children around her. She was born in Wichita, Kansas, on March 11, 1916 to John James and Laura Neal Jones.

She left Kansas to work in Washington, DC, where she met and married Minnesota-born Irving Page in 1941 and they raised four children. Janeth worked as a secretary and editor, but while the children were young she was a stay-at-home mother, devoting much of her time to Parent Teacher and Girl Scout projects. After she and Irving moved to Lake of the Woods in 1971 they enjoyed golf, square dancing, and boating. For many years she edited the Lake of the Woods directory, and she taught a whole generation of grandchildren to swim at the Lake.

Survivors include sister Marjorie Knodle and husband Fred; sister-in-law Pearl Shoemaker and husband Ralph; son James Page and wife Yung Mi; three daughters, Patricia Wilcox and husband John, Jeanne Sloane, and Susan Bowers; grandchildren Sandra Lawrence and husband George, Laura Carter and husband Percy, Andrew Page and wife Ivy, T.J. Page, Dara Rossoff, Asa Rossoff, Hannah Paessel and husband Noah, Jack, Lily and Ben Sloane, Michael Bowers and wife Leila, and Greg Bowers; great-grandchildren Ben and Alex Lawrence, Harry and Isabelle Carter, Ada Paessel, Thomas Bowers, and Kaleb Bowers; and nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Irving H. Page, and a sister and brother-in-law, Eunice and Frank Isely.

A memorial service and celebration of her life will be held at 3 p.m. Tuesday, May 20, in the chapel at Johnson Funeral Home, Locust Grove. Pastor Charles Chilton will officiate. A visitation will also be held at the funeral home from 2 to 3 p.m. A reception will be held immediately following the service at the Woods Center, Lake of the Woods, 108 Fairway Drive, Locust Grove.
