Janet L. Lalli

**Janet Lee Lalli** 

**July 22, 1942 — July 25, 2024**

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Janet Lee Lalli, who peacefully departed 

this world on July 25, 2024, in North Kingsville, OH, at the age of 82. Born on July 22, 1942, in 

Cowen, WV, Janet was a beacon of warmth, love, and devotion to all who knew her.

Janet was the beloved daughter of Clell and Margie Jarvis. She spent her life dedicated to her 

family and home, epitomizing the role of a homemaker with grace and unwavering commitment. 

Janet was married to Tony Lalli Sr. in 1962, and together they shared 59 wonderful years, filled 

with love and mutual respect, until Tony's passing.

Janet's family was her greatest joy, and she was a devoted mother to her five children. Her love 

and care extended far beyond her immediate family, as she often had a houseful of nieces, 

nephews, and neighborhood kids, all of whom adored her. She loved spending time with her 13 

grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. 

Janet was preceded in death by her husband Tony Lalli Sr., her son Stephen Lalli, grandson 

Christopher Morris, her parents Clell and Margie Jarvis, her twin sister Judy Kale, and her 

brother Tom Jarvis. Her memory will forever be cherished by her surviving children: sons Chuck 

(Tig) Lalli, Tony Jr. (Julie) Lalli, Sal (Kim) Lalli, and daughter Tina (Phil) Foster.

One of Janet's many talents were creating handmade blankets for all family births, a tradition that 

brought comfort and love to each new generation. Her blankets were more than just items of 

warmth: they were symbols of her enduring love and care.

A celebration of Janet's life will take place on August 5, 2024, at 11:00 AM at Dean's Funeral 

Home. Family and friends are invited to gather, share memories, and honor the life of a woman 

who touched so many hearts. Viewing will begin at 10:00.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Myotonic Dystrophy 

Foundation, an organization close to their hearts.

Janet Lee Lalli's legacy of love, kindness, and devotion will live on in the hearts of all who were 

fortunate enough to know her. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered with immense 

love and gratitude. Arrangements are entrusted to Dean's Funeral Home.
