Janet Rae Kroes
After a long and valiant struggle -and with her beloved family by her side - Janet Rae Kroes, a native of Augusta, died peacefully on May 17, 2011, at St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center in Syracuse, NY.
Memorial services are 11 a.m. June 11 at First United Methodist Church, 17 W. Genesee St., Baldwinsville, NY and 10 a.m. June 15, at Dunsford Funeral Home, Augusta. Burial will be Elmwood Cemetery in Augusta. There are no calling hours.
A devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend, Janet was born July 30, 1942, in Augusta, the daughter of the late Orville and Maxine Swearingen. She grew up in Augusta, graduating from Augusta High School in 1960 and El Dorado Junior College in 1962, where she studied business
great joy in spending time with her grandsons, Owen and Aidan, especially playing board games or taking them to the zoo.
She volunteered at her children’s school, McNamara Elementary in Baldwinsville, and she worked tirelessly for Campfire Girls of Central New York, running the annual candy sale in Onondaga County for many years.
Janet enjoyed all kinds of crafting, and she especially loved baking cakes and cookies. She was a skilled creator of ceramic pieces and floral arrangements. She loved to travel, play games and solve all sorts of puzzles.
Christmas was her favorite time of year, and she always enjoyed decorating her home festively for the holidays. Every Christmas season, starting many weeks beforehand, she baked hundreds of cookies to share with family and friends, and everyone looked forward to her famous peanut brittle.
Throughout her long illness, Janet’s determination was steadfast, her faith was unwavering and her spirit was hopeful.
She is survived by: Joe, her husband of 45 years; daughter and son-in-law, Joanne Kroes Randell and Simon Randell of Chichester, England; son,
Dr. James Kroes of Providence, R.I.; grandsons, Owen and Aidan Randell of Chichester; two brothers, Harold Swearingen of Augusta and Jim Swearingen of Rose Hill; several lifelong friends in Kansas and New York; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
