The obituary notice of Janet Selma QUINTON

I have only recently learnt of Janet’s passing, having long since left a short year or two of my living in Cornwall. She was a good friend of my Aunt Joyce (JJ) who lived near Crows-an-Wra and my memory of first meeting Janet was being in awe of this woman on horseback with golden locks down to her waist, giving some verbal to someone or other about their wrongdoing. She was intimidating but in a magnificent gregarious warrior way. What an incredible life she has lived.
Thankyou Janet for bringing flowers and fireworks to my Aunt’s life

I first met janet when I was around 11 years old as she was a dear friend to JJ . They were great friends for many years beforehand and I think they worked alongside each other probably in Swindon.

Janet stayed with JJ when she first moved to Cornwall while looking for a house for Simon and herself. During that time I got to know Janet quite well and she taught me how to ride her horse dandy.... She would also let me have a go on her motorbike along the green lanes as a child , if you needed any guidance in life young or old I'd give a good reference for Janet to do the job.

Janet you were a wonderful person ,very caring and thoughtful along with being sharp straight to the point with no nonsense. I loved that about you and I'm greatly saddened to hear of your passing .

You are sure to shine bright wherever you rest just like you did in life ,brightening up any dull corner . I have very fund memories of you when growing up and I do feel that you made a big difference to who I am today.

My love goes out to Simon & family and to those who love you so dearly .

My deepest condolences and love Ross Xx

I've known Janet since around 1979 and in all those years I've never met a more caring person than Janet.
She would always be there if someone needed help.
Janet you will be sorely missed, a one-off.
Love Allen.

Janet - the news of your illness and subsequent passing saddened me greatly. You were a significant part of my life in the 70s and I will never forget you. I am sure you will be greatly missed by friends and family and I hope that your unique spirit is at peace. Clarry.

Glad I knew you; sad you are gone.
