Janet Lenore Tomkins

October 3, 1957 – November 12, 2024

It is with deep heartbreak and sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Janet Lenore Tomkins. Leaving this world too soon, Janet passed away peacefully in the early hours of November 12, 2024, at Peterborough Regional Hospital, with the love of her life by her side. In her final days, she was surrounded by those who loved her most.

Janet is survived by her husband of 48 years, Wally. She was a loving mother to David (deceased), Christopher, and Sarah (Trevor). As a cherished Nanny, she is mourned by Nathan, Reid, Ainsley, Dustin, Alyssa, Dylan, Lincoln, Rebecca, Jessica, Erica, and Matthew. Janet will also be sadly missed and fondly remembered by her daughter Sarah's closest friends, who over the years became an extension of her family.

Janet's greatest joy in life was her family. She truly valued the quality time spent together. With a wonderful sense of humor and a playful spirit, she often brought joy to those she loved the most. Those who knew her experienced her kind heart and unwavering support through both good times and bad.

Without Janet, our lives have been forever changed. Her absence has created an unexplainable emptiness. However, she will live on in our hearts, where her goodness, caring nature, and wisdom will always remain.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Janet’s memory to The Peterborough Hospital or The Kidney Foundation.
