DeCOVER, Janet Therese, 65, beloved, wife, sister, aunt and friend, passed from this life August 28, 2015, following a lengthy illness.

She had a memorable presence with a wonderful personality, a keen sense of humor, ability to engage in intense repartee, strong beliefs and a marvelous laugh. The grace she demonstrated during her illness was an inspiration to all- never complaining, with the attitude, "I can beat this." Janet was truly a "woman for all seasons" enjoying a wide range of interests and activities.

She was a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University; the founder of Main Art, along with her business partner, Rudi Winebrenner, that became her pride and joy and achieved much success over almost four decades; an artist in her own right and a respected member of the art community and Reynolds Gallery; a lecturer on the art form; an active and contributing member of the Virginia Museum Studio School; a member of One/Off Printmakers Group; a pool player "extraordinaire"; a "master" Texas Hold 'Em poker player.
