Janet Wetterberg


Janet Kay Wetterberg (nee Sharp) was lost to Cancer on July 25th in Calgary.
Sexsmith and Peace River were home to Janet in her youth, with her twin sister Carol and younger brother Bob. Janet was happily married to her husband Jim for 49 years. Together they raised Donna, Don, Shelley, and Shannon and celebrated the joys of having seven grandchildren.
Janet supported the family, and her community in so many activities, charities, and volunteer pursuits, including a deep involvement in the sport of fencing where she dedicated endless support, guidance and enthusiasm to the many people she touched with her efforts.
Graduating Nursing at Royal Alec Hospital in Edmonton was where Janet began the journey of her many careers throughout her life. Her enthusiasm and vibrant energy took her into other occupations such as the travel and construction industry later. Janet had a lifelong passion for gardening in the summer.
Enjoying summer evenings sitting on the deck with a glass of wine and admiring nature's beauty were among her favourite pastimes. Janet shared with us her endless love of life and valued keeping friends and family close to her heart no matter where they were. You will forever be in our hearts and we will find comfort in knowing that you will be with us always in spirit.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to the Alberta Cancer Foundation (c/o Tom Baker Cancer Centre, 1331 – 29 Street NW, Calgary, AB T2N 4N2).
A gathering of family and friends of Janet will take place later in August. Details will be posted within the next week at www.fencingcanada.ca.
