Janet Daniel

Janet Daniel, 61, born on Leap Year, February 29, 1964, from the Toledo area and formerly of Bellevue, OH passed away on the afternoon of May 17th. She was a beloved daughter of the late Earl and Virginia Daniel.

Janet impacted so many people in her time on this earth with her laughter and generous spirit. She lived by the motto “How ya living?”. She had such an impact on all who got to spend time with her. The family asks that you remember how she lived vs how she left this mortal coil.

After her graduation from Bellevue High School in 1982 she attended the University of Toledo. She received her BBA and then continued on to get her MBA. Janet worked at Key Bank after graduation and then found her work family at The Andersons, Inc where she spent 24 yrs and 17 days. She was most recently a Senior Project Manager with them.

Janet is survived by her heart-broken siblings, Charles (Marianne) Daniel, Thomas (Ramona) Daniel and Dorthy (William) Baker. Janet is also survived by 8 nieces and nephews: Leisha Santilli, Brad, Theresa, and Jason Miller, Aaron, Benjamin, Eric and David Daniel. She also had 15 great nieces and nephews and 2 great, great-nieces and nephews.

Janet had many loves in her life, but Daisy (3/23/21 gotcha date) was her favorite and most challenging as Daisy always seemed to have a different idea of their walks than Janet did. Her cats Oscar and Lily will also miss their Mom.

Janet enjoyed driving and going to car shows with her purple 2010 Dodge Challenger, her 1999 Plymouth Prowler with its pull-along trunk, and her plum-colored Jeep Wrangler. She took many pictures, planted so many flowers you were never sure they were all gonna fit, played cards with her Euchre Gang, and shared Dad jokes like they were really funny. Janet also excelled at passionately playing tennis so much that she even became the Club Champion several years and participated in National Tennis Tournaments at her amateur status.

Visitation will be held at Auxter-Recker Funeral Home at 1105 Castalia St in Bellevue, OH from 3:00-7:00PM on Thursday May 22nd. Her funeral service will be Friday at 10:30AM at St Pauls United Church of Christ 428 Kilbourne St in Bellevue with internment at Block Cemetery Republic, OH with a lunch service to follow back at St Pauls UCC.

Janet lived her life in purple. The family asks that you honor her by wearing purple on Thursday and Friday even if you can’t join the family for visitation or the funeral service.

Memorial contributions may be made to Mad River & NKP Railroad Museum in Bellevue, St Pauls Church of Christ in Bellevue or to the donor’s favorite humane society.
