LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Janet K. “Jakey” Green passed away in her sleep on Oct. 14, 2020, at the age of 76.

Janet loved spending time with her family and friends, and could put together a party under the walnut tree at her Witter Springs ranch in a matter of hours. She looked forward to her “sisters’ weekends” with her sisters and her late aunt, Diane Smith.

She enjoyed gardening. She grew vegetables and flowers to enter in the Lake County Fair, and enjoyed comparing ribbons and prize money with her sisters and granddaughter, Morgan. She enjoyed spending time at the casino with her husband. Video slots were her favorite.
