Obituary for Janet Ann Nelson

Janet Ann  Nelson
Janet A. Nelson of Westminster, Colorado, passed away peacefully on January 7, 2018 with her husband and sister present. Janet was born in 1953 in Cleveland, Ohio to Marie B. and William V. Nelson (both deceased). She was the dearest sister to Carol Myers of Estes Park, CO and greatly loved aunt to Heather Myers (Milliken, CO) and Eric Myers (Encinitas, CA). Janet came to Colorado in 1980. She married Kevin Kaskie of Arvada, Colorado in 1984. Janet worked as a legal secretary for attorneys Chrisman, Bynum and Johnson from 1982 until 1992. She then worked for M-K Trucking, her husband’s family firm, until shortly before her death. Janet’s passion was animals, particularly the ones who suffered and had no voice: the neglected, abandoned and abused. She was an integral part of the Evergreen Animal Protective League (EAPL), and devoted many years to rescuing, fostering and adopting out dogs in need of loving homes. Throughout her illness of two and a half years, Janet never wavered in her positive outlook nor did she lose her wonderful sense of witty humor. She celebrated the preciousness of each day she was given. She enjoyed “the magic of ordinary days”. Even as her days remaining were few, she focused on the well-being of others. Her example of courage, grace and hope will always be a beacon of bright light to those who knew her. A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday March 4th at 1:30pm at the Dove House in Lafayette, Colorado. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Evergreen Animal Protective League, P.O. Box 2517, Evergreen, CO 80437.
