PICKELL, Janet P. (Sentle), 72, of Flushing
After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Janet went home to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She passed away at home November 28, 2013 surrounded by her loving family. Janet was born April 27, 1941 in Adrian, Michigan, the daughter of Cecil and Margaret Sentle. She graduated from Adrian College with a degree in elementary education. It was there that she met her husband, Robert. They were married in Flint, Michigan on May 9, 1964.
Janet was very involved in the Flint community, especially in connection with faith-based charities and activities. She loved the Lord and lived her life exemplifying that love. She participated in several Bible-study groups with her friends. She was especially proud of her involvement in the annual “Prayer Chain Day” with her dear friend Geneva Spears, and Motherly Intercession’s “From Mom” Christmas celebration for children of incarcerated parents. A friend of Janet once observed, “Janet is my best friend. Then again, she is everybody’s best friend.” Upon learning the prognosis of her illness, Janet assured her family she was at peace and ready for God’s will. Janet loved watching old movies, staying at her family’s place in Naples, Florida, walking the beach, and being with her grandchildren. Janet was an amazing mother and grandmother . . . a joy to all who knew her. She lived with purpose and leaves a rich legacy. Janet will be missed dearly by her friends and family.
Janet is preceded in death by her parents and brother, David. She is survived by her husband of 49 years, Robert; daughter, Laura (and son-in-law, Rick Kline) of Novi; sons, Robert of Washington, D.C. and Brian (and daughter-in-law, Malori) of Grand Blanc; two grandchildren, Emily Kline and Reeva Pickell; and three siblings—Sue Hudson, Steve Sentle, and Debbie Budwit, and many nieces and nephews. We offer a special “thank you” to the Gentiva Hospice staff, and our dear friends who supported us during this time.
A celebration of Janet’s life will be held 10am Tuesday, December 3, 2013 at Mayfair Bible Church, 5339 W. Pierson Rd., Flushing, MI 48433, with Senior Pastor Dean Stewart officiating. Interment will follow in Sunset Hills Cemetery. Visitation will be held 4-8pm Sunday and 12-8pm Monday at the Swartz Funeral Home, 1225 W. Hill Rd., Flint, MI 48507. Memorial contributions may be made to Motherly Intercession, P.O. Box 311109, Flint, MI 48531.
