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.
She met her future husband, Joe Kroes, in 1965, while he was serving in the Air Force and was stationed in Wichita. Joe and Janet were married on April 30,1966, before he went to Vietnam.
They moved to the Baldwinsville, NY area in 1967, and she became a secretary at the Hancock Field Air National Guard Base in Syracuse, NY.
She worked there until their first child was born.
From then on, Janet was the bookkeeper and accountant for the family business. But her primary focus in life was being a wife and mother and, in recent years, a grandmother who found 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.
Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to Baldwinsville First United Methodist Church, 17 W. Genesee St., Baldwinsville, NY 13027, or St. Joseph’s Hospital Palliative Care, 301 Prospect Ave., Syracuse, NY 13203.
