~Janet Edgar~

                                                      *Together again* C.A. and Janet Edgar

YOAKUM: Jeanette Edgar, 83 , passed away peacefully on March 28, 2025. She was born August 2, 1941 to Elo and Henrietta (Bolech) Jahn.

Most commonly known as “Janet”, she was married to her beloved C.A. Edgar for 64 years until his passing in January 2024. Both C.A. and Janet  made the decision many years ago to donate their body to science at the time of death. When C.A. died, Janet followed his wishes and his body went to Baylor College of Medicine. Her daughters, Kathy and Jacqueline have followed Janet’s wishes and donated her body to Baylor.

Janet retired from Tandy Brands after 30 years of service.  Janet loved working in her yard and especially loved decorating her yard and home for Christmas. She was an excellent seamstress and crocheted many beautiful afghans that have been passed onto to her family. She has lived in the same neighborhood for over 60 years and everyone was bonded like family. She was one of the last remaining from the neighborhood and it will never be the same. May the legacy of acceptance and friendship be carried on from all those who have gone before us.

Survivors are her daughters, Kathy Jurica and husband Harvey and Jacqueline Vesely; grandchildren, Jessica Poole (Glen), Melissa Matter (Jeremy), Vanessa Gann (Tod), Lyssa Oliver (Darrell), Christa Richter (Scott) and Deidra Vesely (Meghan); 7 great-grandchildren, Jonah Poole, Asher Matter, Colson Poole, Jesse Matter, Parker Gann, Rhett Richter and Rylan Richter; and her special fur baby, Stewie; sister, Shirley Grubert and brother, Leo Jahn and wife Cynthia; numerous extended family, nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death by her parents, Elo and Henrietta Jahn; husband C.A. Edgar.
