Loving Mother, Grandmother, Sister and Aunt
Janet June Torres, 63, of Waterbury entered into heavenly rest on Monday, December 13, 2021 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born November 3, 1958 in Newark, New Jersey, a daughter of the late Sophia Torres.
Janet brought excitement and joy to everyone. Small and fierce yet loving and welcoming, Janet brought thunder in the lives of the people who knew her or crossed her path. She fought cancer valiantly and spent each day grateful for another day with her family. Family was Janet's true joy. "Don't remember me with tears but celebrate my life with dancing and always know how much I love you". Her joy, vibrancy and love will be cherished always.
Left to cherish her love and memory are Janet's sons David Torres and Willie Salley and his wife Tiffany, her precious granddaughters Jailyse and Arieana all of Waterbury and her three sisters Ramona Wright, Martha "PJ" Torres and Lucy Rodriguez. She also leaves many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
