Janet Leigh Roselle
May 7, 1940-June 4, 2013
Chico, California

Janet (Stoney) passed into eternal rest in Chico, Calif., with her husband by her side. Born in Palo Alto to Daniel and Alice Stone, she attended Palo Alto schools where her father was vice principal. Her parents were instrumental in establishing the 1st Congregational Church campus on Lewis Road. She graduated from University of the Pacific (UOP) of Stockton, Calif., with a Bachelor of Arts degree. After working at several companies, she found her niche with the A.C. Neilsen Co., then of Menlo Park. When the company relocated to Fremont, Calif., she dutifully followed by commuting daily. She worked as a graphic artist & later as manager of their copy center. In 1974 she married Stephen Roselle. They established a home in Mountain View and lived there for 37 years until moving to Chico, Calif., in January 2012 for health reasons. They have no children, but plenty of nephews! In retirement, she volunteered as a docent & later was on the board of directors of Deer Hollow Farm & Educational Center of Mountain View for many years. Her hobbies included gardening and making miniature home dioramas. She passionately engaged in the hobby of stamping: making many artful greeting cards and laboriously coloring them by hand for her many friends. She enjoyed traveling with her husband to far flung Society of Antique Modelers (SAM) Champs and developed many new long distance friendships. A "cat person" all her life, she enjoyed a succession of them during her time in Mountain View. She passed from this life due to complications of FTLD. She is survived by her husband Stephen, nephew Quinn Stone & family of San Leandro Calif., Samantha the cat and a brother, Robert Stone of Maui, Hawaii.
