Janet Louise Sare

Janet Louise (Brown) Sare, 81, of Gessie, Indiana, passed away at her residence in Sarasota, Florida on November 15, 2019. She was born September 28, 1938 in Shawnee Township of Fountain County, Indiana, daughter of Orville L. and Elsie M. (Marquess) Brown.

Preceded in death by her parents, she is survived by her brother, Rev. John L. (Dolores) Brown, her children; Cindy (Joe) Burney, Cathy Coffman and Steven (Peter) Sare, 8 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.

Janet graduated valedictorian at Perrysville High School, class of 1956. She was a homemaker most of her life and enjoyed life on the farm where she raised her three children with her husband of 33 years, Harley B. Sare. Throughout her life she had a very strong spiritual journey, which included sharing her musical gifts. In the latter years she became very involved in the ministry of healing. Her hobbies included painting, knitting and crocheting. Janet never knew a stranger and was known for frequenting her favorite restaurants and building some very special friendships that all began with a simple “I’ll take an ice tea please…. half sweet and half unsweet.” She was loved dearly and will be missed by many.
