Janet R. Flasher, 77, of Deer Run Road, Sugar Grove, Pa., died Thursday, April 1, 2021, at her residence.

She was born Sept. 25, 1943, in Corry, Pa., a daughter of the late Leslie and Betty Crane Wilkinson.

Janet was raised and educated in Corry, Pa., and graduated from Corry Area High School. She attended the Cosmetology Academy in Erie, Pa., and operated a small hair studio out of her house. Janet also worked for the Rouse Home in Youngsville, Pa., as a nurse’s aide for several years and later was a care taker for the elderly. Janet’s main priority was taking care of her family and even in her last days, she was worrying about those who visited her. She had a contagious smile and when she laughed, you laughed.

She attended the Youngsville Free Methodist Church and was a member of the Corry Moose Lodge Chapter 717, Corry VFW Post No. 264 Ladies Auxiliary, American Legion in Youngsville, Pa., and the Abate Motorcycle Club in Warren, Pa.
