JANET KAY ROOF

Janet Kay Roof, Age 77, passed away peacefully in Chardon, OH on August 19, 2022. She was a lifelong resident of Auburn Twp. Janet was born on April 28, 1945, to Wilfred and Audrey (nee: Youngman) Dietz in Chagrin Falls, OH.

Janet was raised on the Munn Road farm riding horses and listening to country music. She met her husband, Robert Roof, and was happily married for many years on their Franks Road property. She loved to play card games especially pinochle with her friends. She also enjoyed chair volleyball, line dancing, and playing pool at the senior center. In earlier years, Janet coached her children’s baseball teams, the Green Goblins and Purple Puppies. She played softball with friends for many years. Janet was an avid bowler and when asked her profession it was a questionable substitute. People loved going to her house to play scrabble, practice drawing for Pictionary, go on hayrides, swim, and have golf cart adventures. She was truly the life of any party she attended. Janet was a true sports fan of the Cleveland Browns and the Cleveland Indians. She brought joy, pranks, and laughter to many people at Thistle House Senior Living and caregivers from Visiting Angels. She will be missed dearly by many.

Janet is survived by her children, Michelle (Chris) Coon and Nicole (Dave) Emerson; grandchildren, Chelsea, Pierce, Bobby, and Seianna; siblings, Cheryl (Jack) Stankus, Denny (Mary Ann), and Fred. She leaves behind niece Jamie and nephews Jason and Michael.  

She is preceded by her loving Husband, Robert, and both her parents.
