Janet Bourget passed away unexpectedly due to a suspected brain aneurysm, a sudden loss that has left her family, friends, and the wider community reeling with shock and sorrow. Her passing came without warning, transforming an ordinary day into one marked by profound grief.
For those who knew and loved Janet, the reality of her absence is still difficult to comprehend, as she was a steady, compassionate presence whose life was defined by service, generosity, and genuine care for others.
Janet dedicated many years of her life to public service as a police officer, a role she carried out with integrity, courage, and deep respect for the people she served. She believed strongly in protecting her community and building trust, and she approached her work not simply as a job, but as a calling.
Beyond her professional career, Janet was also a coach and mentor, giving her time and energy to support young people, encourage teamwork, and inspire confidence. She had a gift for seeing potential in others and helping them believe in themselves, often without seeking recognition for her efforts.
Those closest to Janet remember her most for her kindness and warmth. She was a cherished friend who showed up when it mattered most offering a listening ear, practical help, or a few well-chosen words of encouragement.
Her laughter, sense of humor, and steady compassion left lasting impressions on everyone she encountered. Janet’s impact extended far beyond her immediate circle; she touched lives across her community in ways that will continue to be felt for years to come.
In the midst of this heartbreaking loss, Janet’s siblings are now faced with the heavy responsibility of arranging her funeral and covering related expenses. This challenge is made even more difficult by the fact that the family recently lost their father as well.
Grieving two significant losses in such a short period of time has placed both an emotional and financial strain on the family, as they try to honor Janet’s life while processing their own sorrow.
The family is reaching out to friends, colleagues, and the wider community for support during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution, message of support, or shared memory can help ease the burden and remind them that they are not alone in their grief. The goal is to give Janet the dignified farewell she deserves one that reflects the love, respect, and gratitude so many people feel for her life and service.
By coming together as a community, we can honor Janet Bourget’s memory in a meaningful way. Supporting her family now is a reflection of the values Janet lived by: compassion, solidarity, and looking out for one another. Her legacy of service and kindness will endure, carried forward by those whose lives she touched.
