Janet Stellmon says
Oh, I’m so sad as I read this announcement. Janet was such a sweet person. She was a GREAT co-worker and friend. I’m so sorry Dee and family for your loss. She was AMAZING!
Betty Warren says
I always enjoyed any time spent with Janet – so pleasant, calm, and sure of the Lord in her life. She treasured and loved her family dearly. In a most recent conversation Jan said “the doctors are not not able to give me back my life”– and now what a life as she rests in His hands–free at last.
My deepest condolences to the family.
Rick Norine says
I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of a wonderful person like Janet! I worked with Janet at Senior Long Term Care and found her to be a great co-worker, friend, and human being!
God Bless her, Rest in Peace, and sympathies from myself and my family to her family!
Rick Norine!

I had the pleasure of working with Janet at SLTC. She was not only an incredibly smart and talented woman, but one of the nicest people I have ever met. Her loss was felt when she retired and even more now that she is gone. My deepest sympathies to your family for the loss of a terrific woman.
Pat Johnston says
Very sad to hear of Janet’s passing this week. I so enjoyed getting to know her better on a couple of “road trips” she and Dee and I shared. Such a sweet, warm and thoughtful lady. So glad, Dee, that you were both able to come to the BBQ Memorial Day weekend – a special memory! You are all in my prayers. Blessings all.
Lori Brengle says
Dee and family, I am so sorry to hear of Janet’s passing. She was a wonderful woman whom I’ve missed very much since she retired from the SLTCD in Helena. As a SLTCD subcontractor, there was no one better at the helm in managing our contracts and financial reports. In addition to that, Janet was a wonderful person and we’ll all miss her. Lori Brengle, Glendive
Judy Ober says
I am so sorry to hear about Janet’s passing. I haven’t seen either of you Dee for quite awhile. We moved to Northern Idaho 3 years ago and miss all of the Helena folks. May Janet rest in peace and I will keep all of you in my prayers
Shawna Donaldson says
I am so sorry to hear about Janet’s passing. She was such a kind, sweet woman, and I am so glad I knew her. May your happy memories of her help you through this time of sorrow. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Debbie Lester says
Janet was a wonderful teacher and mentor. Years ago, while new in my job, I could always count on Janet to walk me through the complexities of our contracts and finance. There was never any judgment, just straight answers. I have the most heartfelt respect for Janet and wish her family peace in her memory. Debbie Lester, Missoula
Debi Rapstad says
I was so sorry to hear about Janet – I have wonderful memories of all of us growing up in the same neighborhood in good old Miles City. She was so sweet and gentle, very caring and kind. My dear friend, Dee, I am saddened for you and want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. If ever there is anything I can do, please let me know. Take care.
Patti Browning LeCraft says
I was fortunate to have the Myrens as neighbors in Miles City. They are a rare and beautiful family and one that is not forgotten. My thoughts and prayers have been with you through the years as they are now. Lovely gentle and quiet Janet will be remembered with love by the many she touched throughout her life.

So sorry to hear of Janet’s passing. She will be missed. I have only fond memories of growing up with her in the Lemmon area, and then seeing her periodically at family gatherings. RIP Janet, Until we meet again.

I am so grateful that I was able to see and visit with Janet last summer. She was one of my best friends growing up in Lemmon. Praying God’s peace for her family. Love all of you

I will so miss Janets laughter, advice and company. And her “hummm” to some of my comments.
Arlan Swanson says
Having known Janet all my life as a cousin , but more importantly , a dear freind, I bid her temporary goodbye with a heavy heart. She will always hold a special place in my heart reserved only for her.
Maggie Bullock says
Janet was one of the finest people whoever served the State of Montana as a public employee. She was a woman of great integrity who took full responsibility for the job she had to do. I so enjoyed working with her. And, I will never forget her wonderful laugh. Even if you didn’t know what was so funny, you couldn’t help laughing when you heard her laugh. My sincerest sympathy to her family and friends.
Cheryl Bloom says
I was shocked and saddened by reading in the newspaper of Janet’s passing. I am so sorry for your loss, but am thrilled she is now praising the Lord in heaven. Janet, Estelle, Doris and I had such a great time in Hawaii in 1975. Janet always impressed me with her winning smile/laugh – she was such a special, sweet lady.
