Janet H. Silver, 81, of Baldwinsville, NY passed away after a brief illness Thursday, June 10, 2004 at St. Josephs Hospital. Mrs. Silver was born in Capulin, New Mexico and was a Central New York resident for 52 years. Janet enjoyed gardening, art and music. She used to say that her greatest accomplishment, however, was her children. She lived life to the fullest, never took anything for granted, and literally treasured each and every moment spent with her husband, children, and later on, her grandchildren. Her sudden and early departure will create an unfillable void in the lives of everyone who knew her or whose lives that she touched.

She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 58 years, Robert; her children, Rob of Baldwinsville, Rod of Baldwinsville, and Ron of Delroy, Ohio; her sister, Joy Hammond of Torrance, California; her daughters-in-law, Lori and Kathleen; her grandchildren, Robert III, Bethany, James, Rebecca, Jennifer, and Timothy.

Services will be private. In lieu of calling hours, an informal receptionfor those wishing to express their love and support, will be held Wednesday, June 23, 2004 from 7-9pm at the Aspen House in Radisson.
