Janet Rae Bassitt Winters, 74, passed away at her home in Austin, Texas, on July 28, 2014. Janet was born in Lima, Ohio, on September 20, 1939, to Donald Raymond and Alice Wiley Bassitt. She was a 1957 graduate of LaFayette Jackson High School. After high school Jan worked for the United Telephone Company in Lima Ohio. In June of 1958 Janet married Thomas F Winters of Omaha Nebraska.

In the past several years before her death she worked as a chef. One of her greatest past times was sewing and making beautiful quilts and embroidery decor. Her most enjoyable past time was shopping thrift shops and finding unbelievable bargains. She never knew a stranger and loved cooking. Her knowledge of so many things was quite impressive. She will be greatly missed by not only her family but by all that knew her. A special thank you to Bobbie Gize and Pat Price, both of Austin, for their friendship and assistance. Janet's wishes were to be cremated and a private memorial service will be held at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of Cook-Walden Funeral Home, Austin.
