Janet Marie Jones Sutherland of Toledo died of cancer on March 11 in her home, surrounded by family and friends. She was courageous in her fight against cancer for a number of years before succumbing to the disease.

She was born in Toledo, at the old Toledo Hospital at the end of the football field, to Warren H. and Dorothy M. Jones of Siletz. Janet lived at Siletz until the age of 11, then moved to Logsden and lived there until she left home at age 18. She attended school in Siletz and graduated from Siletz High in 1972.

She moved back to Siletz and helped move mobile homes for several years. She traveled and saw many parts of Oregon. She then became a nurse's aide. She also worked at the Agate Beach Service Station and at Fred Meyer.

She met David Sutherland in Toledo, where they were married on Aug. 24, 1991. Janet loved to play bingo. She also collected angels and enjoyed her pets. Most of all, Janet enjoyed her time with family and friends.
