Gagnon, Janet A.

Janet A. Gagnon (Gareri), 90, formerly of Canton, died peacefully after a long, fulfilled life. Born in Cambridge, Janet was predeceased by her parents, Nicholas and Julia Gareri, and her brother, Peter Robert Gareri.

A graduate of Boston University, Janet was proud to be a BU alum. She worked as secretary to the commissioner of Veterans’ Services for the commonwealth of Massachusetts.

She was an avid golfer and belonged to several country clubs for over 40 years. A diehard Boston Red Sox fan, she rarely missed watching a game.
