She was predeceased by her father Harvey Thibeault, in-laws Patrick and Ethel Fleming, and brother-in-law John Hansen.

Janette was born in Coleman, Alberta, to Harvey and Siri Thibeault. She grew up in Cranbook, BC, and moved to Edmonton in 1968.  She first worked for the Edmonton Journal and then the Provincial Government.  In the spring of 1969, in front of the Edmonton Public Library, she met Jim Fleming.  They married in June 1970 and spent the next decades building a life together with their 4 children in Edmonton, Ardrossan, Sherwood Park, and Lindbrook before moving to Holden, AB, in 1983.

Janette worked for Thor Agencies in Holden. She volunteered for Beaver Regional Arts Society, 4-H, and the Catholic Women’s League. Janette enjoyed cheering on her children and grandchildren in their various sports and activities. She loved to sew, quilt, read, swim, travel, and garden.

In October 2022, Janette became a resident of the Tofield Long Term Care and remained there until her passing. There will be no formal service. A family inurnment will occur in the Spring.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Janette’s name to Alzheimer Society of Canada, Tofield and Area Health Foundation - Long Term Care, or to the charity of their choice.

In her memory, sew a quilt, grow a plant, go for a walk or swim, read a book, or give somebody a hug.

The family would like to thank the staff of Tofield Long Term Care for the loving care and kindness they provided Janette and her family.
